Global Health Academy Heidelberg 2021

This repository includes resources used for the GIS workshop at the Global Health Academy Heidelberg 2021. The workshop will introduce some fundamental concepts of how to work with spatial data by using Covid-19 data for Germany using R and RStudio as the analysis environment. We will cover different possibilities for spatial visualization, measures to identify spatial clusters and will sneak into the definition of spatial neighbourhood definitions and the consideration of spatial regression analysis in presence of spatial auto-correlation. Hands on exercise are part of the workshop. Experience in using R/RStudio will be beneficial but not mandatory as general concepts are transferable to other analysis environments.
