Spatial Analysis Utilities
About Spatial Analysis UtilitiesSpatial analysis or spatial statistics includes any of the formal techniques which study entities using their topological, geometric, or geographic properties. Spatial analysis includes a variety of techniques, many still in their early development, using different analytic approaches and applied in fields as diverse as astronomy, with its studies of the placement of galaxies in the cosmos, to chip fabrication engineering, with its use of 'place and route' algorithms to build complex wiring structures. In a more restricted sense, spatial analysis is the technique applied to structures at the human scale, most notably in the analysis of geographic data.

During this tutorial, we use ArcGIS Destop 10, talk of Spatial Analysis as a method of analysing data though a process of applying analytical techniques.

Spatial Statistical Tests
Provides an example of how it could be used to facilitate visual analysis.As part of this tutorial, we will 'time-enable' spatial data relating to water wells mapped for the state of Montana, USA. We will visualize how data changes over time which provides opportunities for in-depth visual analysis. After a short discussion on Spatial Analysis, we will set the foundation for using the Time Slider Window so we can view temporal change though an animation.The animation will then be exported to a movie for use in non-linear video editing.The Time Slider window provides unique controls that allow spatial data to be visualized in an 'animated map'. The Time Slider window is invoked by clicking the Open Time Slider Window button on the Tools toolbar. Keep in mind that this button may be unavailable if you do not have any time-enabled datasets in your map, scene, or ArcGIS globe.We;ll add a temporal dataset to ArcMap and then set its time properties in order to visualize it through time using the Time Slider in ArcMap, ArcGlobe, or ArcScene.Visit www.knowgis.com for more tutorials or to learn more about the complete training series for learning and knowing ArcGIS Desktop.Thank you.
