Methods for ad-hoc delineation and analysis of categories of spatio-temporal events
Frank Hardisty, Donna J. Peuquet, Sen Xu, Anthony C. Robinson · 2011
Analysts are faced with increasing volume and complexity of spatially and spatio-temporally referenced events to analyze. One means of taming this volume and complexity is to develop methods and tools that can identify patterns, including spatio-temporal structure like clusters, in event data. To understand these methods and tools, we first present some of the motivation for the work, and then we detail the software architecture that we will use to support categorical analysis of spatio-temporal events.
