Project Title: In-Browser Spatial Analytics: Observable Notebook + WebGeoda Scaffolding
Project Description: This summer, I contributed to the creation of in-browser spatial analytics tools, which improve shareability and flexibility of geospatial research. With ObservableHQ, a Javascript environment, I built an interactive tutorial for exploring local spatial autocorrelation, a key concept in spatial econometrics. I also worked on WebGeoda, a browser version of Luc Anselin’s desktop GeoDa app, by creating various data analysis widgets for spatial autocorrelation.
