This is a really nice example of how geography and spatial analysis are so useful for bringing to life data and really gaining insights … Continue reading “Million dollar blocks”
Mapping genomic data
Screenshot of nextstrain By reconstructing a phylogeny we can learn about important epidemiological phenomena. By adding geography to where the sample was taken we can map the spatial spread of a pathogen as well as how it may be changing in a certain location. By looking at this in context by adding in different geographies … Continue reading Mapping genomic data

Spatial data analysis: overview of the 6 function classes
In an earlier post I provided an overview of the different types of methods that might be used to conduct different types of spatial data analyses. These included using statistical methods, spatial analysis methods, data science methods and depending on your needs and use of imagery, image analysis methods. In this post I will go … Continue reading Spatial data analysis: overview of the 6 function classes
