Historical Setting and GIS Evolution
Manual Mapping for 8,000+ years
We have been mapping for thousands of years with the
primary of navigation through unfamiliar terrain and seas,
with emphasis on precise placement of physical features.
…but the last four decades have radically changed
the very nature of maps and how they are used—
Computer Mapping
…automates the
cartographic process (70s)
Where
Spatial Database Management
…links
computer mapping with database capabilities (80s)
Where is What
… GIS Modeling course
Map Analysis
…representation of relationships
within and among mapped data (90s)
Why, So What and What If…
Multimedia Mapping
…full integration of
GIS, Internet and visualization technologies (00s)
Wow!!! …did you see that

mathematical or statistical function of the values on another map layer(s)
—sort of a “map-ematics” for analyzing spatial relationships and patterns—

Reclassify operations involve
reassigning map values to reflect new
information about existing map
features on a single map layer

Travel-Time maps from several stores
treating highway travel as four times faster than city streets.
Blue tones indicate locations that are close to a store (estimated twelve minute drive or less). Customer data can
be appended with travel-time distances and analyzed for spatial relationships in sales and demographic factors.
(Berry)
Travel-Time Surfaces (Our Store & Competitor #4)
Blue tones indicate locations that are close to a store (estimated twelve minute drive
or less). Increasingly warmer tones form a bowl-like surface
with larger travel-time values identifying locations that are farther away.

Competition Map (Our Store & Competitor #4)
The travel-time surfaces for two stores can be compared (subtracted) to identify the
relative access advantages throughout the project area.
Zero values indicate the same travel-time to both stores (equidistant travel-time)

Spatial Interpolation (Smoothing the Variability)
The “iterative smoothing” process is similar to slapping a big chunk of
modeler’s clay over the “data spikes,” then taking a knife and cutting away
the excess to leave a continuous surface that encapsulates the peaks and
valleys implied in the original field samples
…repeated

Multivariate Analysis— each map layer is a
continuous variable with all of the math/stat
“rights, privileges and responsibilities” therewith …simply “spatially organized “ sets of numbers (matrix)
(Berry)
Calculating Data Distance
…an n-dimensional plot depicts the multivariate distribution—
the distance between points determines the relative similarity in data patterns
Pythagorean
Theorem
2D Data Space:
Dist = SQRT (a2 + b2)
3D Data Space:
Dist = SQRT (a2 + b2 + c2)
…expandable to N-space
…this response
pattern (high, high,
medium) is the least
similar point as it
has the largest
data distance from
the comparison
point (low, low,
medium)
(See Beyond Mapping III, “Topic 16”, Characterizing Spatial Patterns and Relationships, www.innovativegis.com/basis)
(Berry)
Clustering Maps for Data Zones
Groups of “floating balls” in data space identify locations in the field
with similar data patterns– data zones or Clusters
…a map stack is a spatially organized set of numbers
…data distances are minimized within a group (intra-cluster distance) and
maximized between groups (inter-cluster distance) using an optimization procedure
(See Beyond Mapping III, “Topic 7”, Linking Data Space and Geographic Space, www.innovativegis.com/basis)

The Precision Ag Process (Fertility example)
As a combine moves through a field it 1) uses GPS to check its location then
2) checks the yield at that location to 3) create a continuous map of the
yield variation every few feet. This map is
Steps 1) – 3)
4) combined with soil, terrain and other maps to
derive 5) a “Prescription Map” that is used to
6) adjust fertilization levels every few feet
in the field (variable rate application).

Spatial Data Mining
Precision Farming is just one example of applying
spatial statistics and data mining techniques
Mapped data that
exhibits high spatial
dependency create
strong prediction
functions. As in
traditional statistical
analysis, spatial
relationships can be
used to predict
outcomes
…the difference is
that spatial statistics
predicts where
responses will be
high or low
