University of Liverpool (London Campus)
In this course we will cover how to prepare and analyse spatial data in RStudio & GeoDa. We will use RStudio to perform spatial overlay techniques (such as union, intersection and buffers) to combine different spatial data layers to support a spatial analysis decision. By the end of the course you will understand how RStudio manages spatial data and be able to use RStudio for a range of spatial analysis.
