Final
- The final exam will be a team project on a topic selected by the team
- The topic can either be a spatial analysis of an important and challenging data set or methodological work on topic in spatial statistics
- The projects are to be done in groups of 2-3 chosen by the instructor with student input
- They are to result in a thorough but concise, professional quality technical poster presentation
Project abstract due Wednesday, November 14
- These one-page proposals should list your team members and spell out briefly the main goals of the study, your basic approach, and the role of each team member
- IMPORTANT: Pick a topic that interests you, but not something that you have already done!
- This project need not be computationally expensive nor require a huge time investment in data collection, but it does need to show careful planning, good logic and the spatial analysis concepts discussed in the course
- If you are having trouble identifying a topic, please see the instructor as soon as possible
Project report due Friday, December 14 at 8AM
- The final product of the project will be a poster, which you should turn in to the instructor, present in class, and should include:
- Motivation for studying this problem
- A description of data and/or methods to be used
- Discussion of the major findings
- A statement of the implications of your study
- A discussion of further questions raised by your study
Team average scores for these projects will be assigned following:
- Quality and novelty of the analysis and/or methodology, 60%
- Professional appearance and clarity of the poster, 20%
- Poster presentation, 20%
