Using GIS for Predictive Modeling: Dr. Lindsey Cochran

Описание: This presentation is geared towards a general student audience—no technical knowledge or specialized programs necessary! During this time, I’ll introduce the fundamentals of archaeological predictive modeling, a kind of inferential spatial statistic used to estimate aspects of past human habitation, travel, and resource acquisition. Sound complicated? It’s not…don’t worry. We’ll discuss common questions that can be asked and answered using these spatial statistical techniques as well as common pitfalls and lessons for the future. Ways to get started and get involved will be at the center of the conversation.

Dr. Lindsey Cochran is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Georgia.
