Transformations and Descriptive Summaries

The fourth module covered topics that pertained to transformations and descriptive summaries.  This module provided an overview from many topics that range from buffering, point-in-polygon, and polygon overlay operations, to spatial dependence and fragmentation.  These topics are designed to teach the ability of multiple tools that can be used to calculate distances, densities, central tendency, and spatial dependence. One example from these topics demonstrates how to use limited sample points to create a continuous raster or surfaces.

Surface 1: New IDW surface of sample points less than 5%

Surface 2: New Krige surface of sample points less than 5%
