Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Introduction
GIS, GPS, crowdsourced, and sensor data are complex geodatasets that are stretching the limits of GIS packages, thus a real challenge is to develop innovative ways to deal with all the available data and datasets. Nowadays, geodata analysts should be able to cure and manage both structured and unstructured data while at the same accomplish their tasks timely using computing architectures adequate for datasets of millions of spatiotemporal observations. Furthermore, demands on data exploration go beyond basic statistical measures, charts, and EDA techniques to spatial statistical methods that look at the global or local patterns of univariate-bivariate-multivariate geodata and various forms of cartographic visualization. An additional challenge is that although a significant percentage of data can be characterized as geodata, at times the “spatial information” needs to be processed or even engineered. In this course, the focus is to process, analyse, and then describe geodata with techniques are applicable to many domains such as health, natural disasters, crime analysis, agriculture, human mobility, or geodemographics.

Content
Python tools (Jupyter notebooks & python libraries), EDA, Mapping, Processing, Parallel Computing, Global & Local patterns, LISA, Geocoding, Data Scrapping, Hungry Minds extra topics.

Methods
The course has a fairly equal amount of both lectures and practical work. The practical work is either tutorials guided by the lecturer or exercises of multiple tasks to be solved/answered given sufficient support material. Most of the times learning of theory and methods precedes their application. There is also a rotational pattern in which topics/concepts of older lessons are re-used and tested within newer lessons. Game-based learning and other interactive learning approaches are regular activities during the lectures.

Entry requirements
Knowledge of basic Python scripting is a prerequisite for this course. Knowledge of descriptive statistics or spatial statistics would be advantageous but is not required.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

The assessment is conducted via three testing elements (T1-3). The first, a written test, is conducted at the very last session of the course. The test assesses the technical skills and the methodological concepts learned throughout the lessons. The second, is the submission of selected exercises done in class. The last one assesses the participation and contribution during in-class activities.

The weights of each element are:
- Test 50% (T1)
- Exercises 40% (T2)
- Contribution 10% (T3)

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

- A student shall attend at least 75% of the sessions.
- T1 is an obligatory test to pass the course.
- T1 contains a multiple set of questions. The correct answers to the questions sum up to 50 scoring points.
- The structure/style of T1 test is practiced within in-class game activities.

- T2 is not an obligatory test to pass the course.
- The maximum number of scoring points that can be accumulated is 39.

- T3 is not an obligatory test to pass the course.
- For T3 a conditional mark is given (or not) of 11 points.

Prüfungsstoff

Data processing, exploratory (spatial) data analysis, descriptive spatial statistics, python (geo)libraries.
