Course summary

All social life unfolds in a geographical space, which can act as a factor, facilitator, or barrier to the development of social processes and the emergence of social phenomena. The course "Analysis of spatial data in R" is aimed at acquiring a set of skills that allow for a full cycle of research work with geospatial data - from their extraction to statistical inference. Students will learn how to use OpenStreetMap and GoogleMaps to create and retrieve geospatial data, display statistics on maps and heat maps, and measure relationships between variables adjusted for geographic effects.
