ArcGIS 9 Extensions
 



ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst
is an extension to ArcGIS Desktop (ArcInfo, ArcEditor, and ArcView) that provides a variety of tools for spatial data exploration, identification of data anomalies, optimum prediction, evaluation of prediction uncertainty, and surface creation.

With ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst you can

  • Explore data variability, look for data outliers, examine global trends, and investigate spatial autocorrelation and the correlation between multiple data sets.
  • Create prediction, prediction standard errors, the probability that specified threshold was exceeded, and quantile maps using various geostatistical models and tools.


ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst is a complete package for spatial data preprocessing, geostatistical analysis, contouring, and post-processing. It also includes interactive graphical tools with robust parameters for default models to help newcomers to geostatistical data analysis.

Geostatistical Analyst leverages ArcGIS data management, visualization, and mapping tools to put powerful geostatistical analysis tools in the hands of GIS users.

Why Use ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst?

  • The eye can infer patterns that do not exist, and it can miss important patterns. Geostatistical Analyst provides objective, data driven methods for quantifying trends and detecting patterns in spatial data.
  • If data is not precise or the model is not exact, uncertainty will affect the output maps and the conclusions made from them. Geostatistical Analyst provides a probabilistic framework for quantifying uncertainties in surface creation.
  • Multivariate statistical methods use correlations in attribute values to infer associations between different variables. They are useful for combining data to produce more precise predictions.
  • Geostatistical analysis provides a powerful way of predicting unknown parts of some spatial phenomenon. Hence, it is extremely useful for sampling plan design and optimization.
