GIS 3015: Cartographic Skills

Week 5 Lab: Spatial Statistics

The map below reflects the spatial distribution of the data after applying the Mean Center, Median Center and Directional Distribution Tools in ArcToolBox.  The proximity of the Mean Center (green dot on the map) to the Median Center (red triangle on the map) suggests there are no features with too much influence on the average mean center.  The green ellipse on the map represents the Directional Distribution of the geographic data with a slight south-southwest to north-northeast orientation.
