The Spatial Data and Trend Surfaces with Excel and ArcMap
Creating synthetic data is critical to evaluating modeling methods and diagnose problems.
Learing Objectives:
- Create synthetic point data sets in Excel.
- The synthetic data will include; trend surfaces, autocorrelated data, and random noise.
- Evaluate trend surface methods in ArcGIS.
- Remove trends from data.
- Evaluate autocorrelation methods in ArcGIS.
- Remove autocorrelation in ArcGIS.
- Evaluate the remaining random noise in a data set.
