This topic will allow students to design a series of computer batch scripts in R and Python that significantly increase productivity and reduce the amount of time which would normally be involved in undertaking repetitive data analysis tasks and/or more complex statistical analysis and computer modelling. This topic is tailored for all students who will need to undertake statistical analysis or computer modelling while studying or after graduation. These skills will provide students with a particular 'edge' in the workplace environment or later research degrees. Midway through the topic students already having had past experience with Geographical Information Systems (GIS), may opt to study particular skills in increasing their productivity and harnessing the power of GIS utilising R and/or Python scripts.
This topic aims to allow students to design a series of computer batch scripts in R and Python that significantly increase productivity and reduce the amount of time which would normally be involved in undertaking repetitive data analysis tasks and/or more complex statistical analysis and computer modelling. Midway through the topic students already having had past experience with Geographical Information Systems (GIS), will design a series of computer batch scripts in R and/or Python, together with a GIS Model Builder that implement several spatial modelling functions in the GIS. The topic finally aims to provide students with an opportunity to apply these skills to a real-world problem in an application area of their choice.
