GIS Programming Module 1

 

Above are the results of the code created in module. The assignment was a combination of writing new script and repairing pre-existing scrip. The first step was to create a list from name and print my last name only using its index number. Following last name you will see a series with the following pattern "X roles a # out of #, X wins" This was the pre-existing code that needed repairs. Once fixed it generates a random number between 0 and a number equal to double the number of characters in each persons name. If they role higher than the length of their name it tells you they won, otherwise it tells you they lose. Next, a list with 20 random numbers is created. Then a number of our choosing, I chose seven, is declared the unlucky number. If that number does not occur in the list it the script tells you so, if the number does occur in the list then all instances of the unlucky number are removed and the program tells you how many were removed. The final step is to print out the list of numbers after the unlucky number has been removed.

Lab 5: M 2.2 Interpolation

  This weeks module focused on identifying the best interpolation method for modeling the air quality over Tampa Bay. Four methods were tested using the same set of sample points Thiessen, Inverse Weighted Distance (IDW), Tensioned Spline (seen above), Regularized Spline. Thiessen Interpolation assigns all cells in the raster with the value of the nearest sample point. IDW calculates the value of all cells by considered multiple sample points nearby and giving closer points a higher weight than further points. Both Spline methods create a smooth surface over the sample points but the regularized version creates a smooth curvature regardless of the range of values in the sample meaning cell values can end up both above and below the minimum and maximum values found in the sample. The tension model attempts to fix this by constricted the curvature of values to the ranges found in the sample points.

GIS 6005 - Module 2

  Nevada is my area of Interest. There a three separate state planes for Nevada; east, west, and central. For this reason, the state plane was not the appropriate choice. I decided to use NAD 1983 UTM Zone 11N because Nevada fits entirely within that UTM zone.

GIS 6005 - Module 6

  Because the data provided for the above map contained positive and negative values which ArcMap does not support for proportional symbols, the data had to be modified. All states with positive values were exported to a new shapefile and the same was done with states with negative values. This was all that needed done with the positive valued states. However, for the negative valued states a new field needed added to the attribute table and it had to be populated with the absolute value of number of jobs lost to convert them to positive integers.  To prepare the data for bivariate visualization classes needed to be made. To do this, three class quantification was applied to each desired variable to divide each into three relatively equal groups. Then all values in the first group of the first variable were classified with an 'A', then the second group was given a 'B', and the third was given a 'C'. the same thing was done with the second variable however 1, 2 ,...
