| Standalone course validated by the micro-credential (paid course) 1. Introduction and infrastructure 2. Spatial data (geopandas) 3. Spatial relationships (libpysal) 4. Exploratory spatial data analysis (esda) 5. Point patterns (pointpats) 6. Clustering (scikit-learn) 7. Interpolation (tobler, pyinterpolate) 8. Regression (statsmodels, gwlearn) 9. Spatial evaluation (scikit-learn) 10. Space in modelling (scikit-learn) |

| The course introduces data science and computational analysis using open source tools written in the Python programming language. The course supports students with little prior knowledge of core competencies in Spatial Data Science (SDS). It includes: - Advancing their statistical and numerical literacy. - Introducing basic principles of programming and state-of-the-art computational tools for SDS. - Presenting a comprehensive overview of the main methodologies available to the Spatial Data Scientist and their intuition on how and when they can be applied. - Focusing on real-world applications of these techniques in a geographical and applied context. The course revolves around data typically used in social geography, but its applicability is not limited to social geography. In practice, you will work more with vector data than rasters (although we cover those a bit as well) and often with data capturing various aspects of human life. The spatial data science concepts, however, are universal. Amount of a fee: 7500 Kč / course |

| Basic understanding of Python, data manipulation in pandas and foundational statistics (e.g. linear regression) Students of Masters and Postgraduate levels and professionals in data science and data analytics interested in learning spatial dimension of data science and specifics of its data and methods.. Students of Masters and Postgraduate levels and practitioners of geography and GIS interested in learning advanced analytics using Python programming language. SIS will be used for “enrolment” and registration of students. Level of attendance: min. 60%. |
|||||||||
| After finishing the course, students will be able to: • Describe advanced concepts of spatial data science and use the open tools to load and analyze spatial data. • Explain the motivation and inner logic of the main methodological approaches of open SDS. • Critically evaluate the suitability of a specific technique, what it can offer, and how it can help answer questions of interest. • Apply several spatial analysis techniques and explain how to interpret the results in the process of turning data into information. • Work independently using SDS tools to extract valuable insight when faced with a new dataset. |
