Workshop: Getting Started with Spatial Analytics

Heather Harris, Practice Director of Intelligence and Analytics at Concentrix Catalyst, Alteryx ACE and author of Citizen Gain: Citizen Data Scientists as the Catalyst for the Modern Analytics Strategy, along with members of her data science team, takes you through a geospatial journey in this workshop on spatial analytics. Through tutorials on enriching your analysis in Alteryx by using a spatial component, you’ll learn the basics of working with spatial objects.

Curriculum will include:

• Viewing Spatial Objects: Input and view spatial objects in Designer.
• Understanding Spatial Objects: Understand the structure and geometric attributes of spatial objects
• Creating Spatial Objects: Create spatial objects to use for spatial analytics.
• Constructing Trade Areas: Construct a trade area to better analyze the area surrounding a point of interest.
• Splitting Spatial Objects: Break a polyline or polygon spatial object into its smaller components.
• Calculating Distance: Compute the linear distance between two spatial objects.
• Relating Spatial Objects: Apply spatial processes to understand the relationships between spatial objects.
• Identifying Nearest Objects: Identify the nearest spatial object to another while enforcing selection criteria.
• Spatially Joining Data: Match data based on spatial relationships.
