GIS Spatial Analyst Tutorial using John Snow's Cholera Data

[@truenorth3077]

We've come along way with ArcMap and ArcPro since this video was made. Great demonstration, thanks!

[@loveALLAAH]

Thank you for the short video combining kernel density and contour tool along with the link of the data.

[@digitallair3425]

Thank you!! (Our class uses your KZbin video as an example of how to do it! Also, I find it interesting that John Snow took time out of his daily routine of saving Westeros from white walkers and zombie dragons to help find the cause of the Cholera outbreak. A hero all 'round really wasn't he! ;-))

[@ChrisGoranson]

Hah! Pretty funny. Now we just need a density surface of the white walkers north of the wall!

[@stephenjones8928]

Many thanks. I remember hearing about Mr. Snow's analyses in James Burke's excellent 1985 series "The Day the Universe Changed". Being able to work the actual data makes me feel part of history.

[@ChrisGoranson]

Absolutely! I'm glad you found it useful, and yes - working with these data is kind of a fascinating way to further explore history a bit on your own. It does really help bring it home I think.

[@CulperJR84]

Hi Chris, If you wanted to show density/kernal of multiple kinds of points (i.e. the density of pumps and deaths), is that possible?

[@ChrisGoranson]

Culper Junior Hi Culper - if I read your question correctly you want to create a density surface of the pumps with the deaths combined? Technically you could merge the two layers together and create a density surface, but I'm not sure why you would want to do that. You might be interested in reading a bit about calculated rasters, which allow you to combine two (potentially weighted) surfaces together. Again, not clear that would work for anything of interest for this particular example, but they are powerful and the help within ArcGIS does a nice job of walking you through the details of such tools. Good luck!

[@KamarulImran]

Chris, I used the dataset in the given link but the density looks different on ArcGIS? Have the data been changed?

[@galihcitrayogyanti2469]

Hi Chris the link for John Snow cholera data is unavailable, Could you help me out where is to get the data?

[@brownjane113]

as same as you

[@alexandergraham9737]

Excellent lesson, thank you Chris.

[@bryanvgiordano]

8:13 - 8:18 Can you manually make the box that surrounds the data points larger? I have a very large map with data points scattered throughout but the box is only including some of my data points because of the weight. Any advice?

[@davidbrun1302]

Excelente muestra, que después de 1984, ha sido la base en la cual se ha sustentado el análisis SIG. hay posibilidad de que pases los datos?

[@tommygun80127]

I attempted to use this technique to display density using point data representing bicycle thefts. Instead of a graduated circle or glob shown in the video I repeatedly got big blue dark and light squares behind my city layer. I tried using kernel and point density and the results were the same.

[@marciliorocha3212]

Great video. Do you know how to perform a Network Kernel Density Estimation (NKDE) analysis using points and roads? If so, please make a video explain how to do it. Thanks in advance.

[@imranahmedkhan8130]

This is very good tutorial, many thanks for this. Can I get this data (shap file)?

[@aliatt2]

Hi Chris, thanks for the tutorial. I used the tutorial and my results would give me kernel densities on each separate death incident instead of coming out as a group like in your case. Could you help me out?

[@cosmos77783]

it was very helpful and i request you whcih software havw u used

[@peterheine6240]

Hello Can you help me by a question ? What do you mean by the following traveler problem?

[@keronsooklal3665]

Thank you very much !!! Practical and easy tutorial.

[@ChrisGoranson]

+Keron Sooklal Happy it was helpful!

[@bannongallaher3897]

Could you help me understand the output cell size you used, as well as the search radius? How do I know what values will be appropriate for my project?

[@ChrisGoranson]

Glad it helped Keith!

[@ChrisGoranson]

Hi Jesus - For a similar, downloadable dataset from Yale University see the link in the video description (I can't put links here in the comments). Hope that helps, Chris

[@Zerojquan]

I am having issues with the hotspot, the circles cut off right from where my data ends.. how do I change it to show the full circles?

[@phoumsounan9949]

What is the keyword of learning GIS software?

[@francisvorondo3050]

Am happy for this application

[@altafalisiyal9443]

From where to get/download this vector data

[@alexkhaing67]

May I know how to download this video

[@mohammadreshadhussaini3437]

thanks it's very nice

[@francisvorondo3050]

I want to be applying it in practice

[@phoumsounan9949]

How do I learn GIS software effectively?

[@brownjane113]

pls！need new url to get data

[@MyKJ4444]

Thanks a lot Chris, very helpful

[@KamarulImran]

nice . easy and informative

[@carlaramos810]

How do I make a shp. file? I'm starting with ArcGis and I don't know how this kid of files are created!

[@muratcelik6221]

Hi. I help you. I from Turkey. Where are you from

[@andyanderson8414]

If you have a text file with data in this format: Name X Y then use ArcGIS’ menu File > Add Data > Add XY Data… to display it in ArcGIS. To save the result as a shapefile, right-click on it, and in its contextual menu Data > Export Data…

[@melvin4ever]

Activate your ArcToolBox, Administrative Tools, Feature class, create a feature class, then select the type of feature you want... See you.
