Special Topics in GIS (GIS5935): Lab 12

In this week's lab, we delved more into how to utilize OSL analysis and GWR analysis on real life statistical data. Both analysis techniques allowed us to be able to visualize the areas that were more likely to call 911 based on the residents level of education and we are able to see if there was correlation in a particular crime based on certain variables, such as race and income.

OLS does not have any spatial component when performing a regression analysis unlike GWR which looks at the change over space the between the relationship of the the variables. I notice a major improvement in understanding the fluctuation of the prediction of calls to 911. The GWR was able to weigh the values in analysis to spatial location on the map.
