COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course treats a specific advanced topic of current research interest in the area of handling spatial, temporal, and spatio‐temporal data. The main objective of this class is to study research methods in spatial, temporal, and spatio‐temporal datasets. Major topics include data mining and machine learning techniques on clustering, association analysis, and classification. In addition, students will learn how to use popular data mining tools Weka and how to implement ArcGIS applications. The class will expose students to interdisciplinary research on spatial data mining and current practices of industry in handing spatio‐temporal data.
