GGR267H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Tim Hortons, Autocorrelation, Caffeine
Document Summary
In the real world everything has a pattern and we want to determine the process and i want to test if this is a pattern and if it is different than random. If non-random than we can infer or test a hypothesis that some process is responsible for the pattern. Geographers are interest in analyzing spatial patterns to determine if a variable is random or non-random. Tim hortons line clustered process: you need a caffeine boost, you are hungry, you need sugar, overworked/tired what is the drive that is causing the process. Green= live trees , red= dead trees clustered , some dispersed. Describe the spatial pattern of the orange (dead) vs green (live trees. Something underlying affecting the health of the trees eg. **all these things are equally probable and we can test it** Everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things .
