Digital Teaching
A comprehensive course to explore fundamentals related to statistics focused on spatial data analysis. Through cutting-edge methods and techniques, you will learn how to predict and infer spatial patterns effectively. Also, designed to be undertaken with R, a command line-driven program, free of charge, with powerful statistical and spatial analytical packages. Participants without knowledge of the R language are encouraged to study this introduction to R: <https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-intro.pdf>

Course Contents
