Slides from the course ESR 512 "GIS in Geostatistics" held by Thusitha Wagalawatta & Daniel Knitter, winter term 2015 at the Postgraduate Institute of Science (PGIS), University Peradeniya, Kandy, Sri Lanka
What you will find here (all things are conducted using data from/about Sri Lanka):
- A short intro to R
- Analyses of climate data from FAO
- Analyses of Census data
- Shortest path analyses
- Small things about interpolation
- Small things about spatial autocorrelation
- Some things concerning the analyses of terrain
- Some examples of Point Pattern Analyses
- Viewshed analyses
Without the lectures some of the material might not be self-explanatory. Nevertheless, perhaps you can still make use of some of the code.
If you want to learn a little more about spatial analyses, with a special focus on archaeology have a look at the book "Modelling Human Behaviour in Landscapes" by Oliver Nakoinz and Daniel Knitter
There is also a github repository:
If you still have questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
Cheers, Thusitha & Daniel
