Analysis modules currently available in Studio:

ModuleDescription
Cluster-Outlier AnalysisIdentify statistically significant geographical clusters and outliers. As examples, you can use this feature to locate Covid outbreak zones or discover hot areas in your local housing market.
Suitability AnalysisScore site quality based on a set of user-defined criteria and weights. Find the optimal spot for housing developments, expansion locations, weather sensors, and much more.

Benefits of Analysis in Studio

In many workflows, completing a spatial data analysis and visualizing the result requires many steps. For instance, you may need to:

  1. Collect, prepare, and clean pertinent datasets.
  2. Write python notebooks using libraries such as GeoDa, GDal, PySal, GeoPandas.
  3. Output the result in a tabular data format.
  4. Configure a visualization software (QGIS, Studio).
  5. Set up layers, apply a color scale, edit legend, and build charts.
  6. Share the map in an accessible format.

Studio's analysis modules aim to expedite spatial data analysis without limiting the user's power to extract valuable information from the data. Each analysis module parses your dataset to identify compatible columns and suggest optimal values for parameters. Advanced options allow users to modify every parameter used in the calculation.

Once the necessary fields are provided, Studio generates an interactive preview of the analysis. Changing any parameters updates the preview, providing instant feedback to changes in the analysis configuration.
