Geographic Computation
The modules in this unit are Intermediate level. They focus on geographic and geospatial computation. This section contains material originally built to support UBC’s GEOG 374 (Statistics in Geography). This course covers statistical techniques for geography. For economics students, these are a valuable supplement to our intermediate econometrics courses.
These modules in particular are designed to be used in 1 or 2 one-hour long lab environments, with TA or Instructor supervision, or in a flipped classroom setting (i.e. as a lecture)
They include a number of exercises which are intended to be formative (i.e. not graded) in nature, and can be addressed during the lab.
You should make sure you’re familiar with the basics of R and using data before starting these notebooks.
