Hello,

Already use R for GIS, but want to develop your skills?

I'm running two GIS courses specifically designed for social science 
researchers, in partnership with InStats. These aren't generic GIS 
courses – they're built around the questions you actually need to answer 
and the data you actually work with, with an opportunity to ask me 
specifically about your work.

Advanced R for Spatial Analysis

This seminar provides an in-depth exploration of advanced spatial 
analysis techniques using R, aimed at enhancing the ability to handle 
and interpret complex spatial data. Participants will gain practical 
skills in spatial joins, buffering, point-in-polygon operations, and 
more, equipping them to conduct sophisticated spatial research effectively.

Spatial Statistics in R

This comprehensive seminar introduces participants to spatial statistics 
using R, guiding them through essential techniques for analyzing 
geographically referenced data. Led by Dr. Nick Bearman, attendees will 
gain practical experience with tools like GeoDa and learn how to 
interpret spatial patterns and relationships, enhancing their research 
methodologies.

“I love having a workbook to go through, it’s how I learn best. Also, 
perfect balance between presentation and practical work.”
Harriet Ann Patrick, PhD Researcher, University of Sheffield
