Lab 10

1. Spatial Statistics Tool

For part one of lab 10, the spatial statistics tool I decided to choose was analyzing patterns; the Average Nearest Neighbor Tool on Lab 4 exercise 5a. According to "tool help," this tool calculates a nearest neighbor index based on the average distance from each feature to its nearest neighboring feature and the results are accessible from the results window. This tool retrieves five values consisting of the observed mean distance, expected mean distance, nearest neighbor index, z-score, and p-value.

Chapter 9 Question:
1. A join is a combination between two data tables in one table and a relate is when a record in the layer attribute table may have many matches in the non-spatial table. When tables are related, one can highlight records in either table to see matching records in the other. An example for a join would be locations of malls and the relate would be a table attribute that show the stores inside the mall.
Chapter 8&10 Question:
1. Three common operators used in spatial queries >, <, and =.

Lab 6

For this lab I decided to pick a certain county of California, therefore I chose the San Joaquin County in Stockton, CA. For both maps I inserted the census blocks just to show the county of San Joaquin for display because I was one of the students undergoing the range issues of this lab. I chose earthquakes for my second map because if one is from the state of California, earthquakes are one of the major natural disasters and I was curious to see if Northern California exhibited a good amount of earthquakes. I noticed that majority of the northwest coastline of Northern California had a fair amount of shock, but when one notices the northeast of the San Joaquin County there are very little quakes that take place in this county, which makes sense.

Lab 3 Questions
1. The projection that is used in exercise 13a is Albers Equal Area Conic.
2.  After going through the tutorial, the WGS84 Datum seems most common.
3. The largest U.S. state in area is Alaska .
4. In step 19 of exercise 13a, Texas appears to be the largest state.
5. Export a separate map following step 5 in exercise 13b

6.  The off-set between the Albers and Lambert projections in exercise 13b in step 5; the cities are in the wrong states. For example, Columbus, Ohio is in Kentucky; Nashville, Tennessee is in Alabama; Grand Rapids, Michigan is in Indiana; Auburn, Alabama is in Florida. Also, Myrtle Beach, Barnstable, and Manchester are in the ocean.
