The triangle visualize-explore-model will be employed with emphasis in the modeling section. Examples of taught methods include: first/second order effects, complete spatial randomness, tessellation, kernel, covariograms and variograms, and several types of kriging. Note: General programming experience and quantitative background are required. Assignments will use Matlab software package, though no prior knowledge of Matlab is required.
