Interactive Tools — GIS & Spatial Analysis for Public Health
RCMI Advanced Workshop 2026 · GATOR Lab @ UF
🎨 Choropleth Classification Explorer
See how the same data tells different stories depending on the classification method. Compare Quantile, Equal Interval, Natural Breaks, and Standard Deviation classifications on real public health data from Florida.
📍 Point Pattern Explorer
Explore how spatial point patterns are analyzed. Generate random, clustered, or dispersed patterns and examine them with Nearest Neighbor Index, Quadrat Analysis, and Ripley's K function.
🗺️ Spatial Neighborhood Explorer
Visualize how spatial neighborhoods are defined. Click any cell to see its neighbors under Queen, Rook, KNN, and distance-band definitions across regular, hexagonal, and irregular grids.
🖌️ Spatial Autocorrelation Painter
Paint values onto a grid and watch Moran's I update in real time. Build intuition for positive and negative spatial autocorrelation with preset patterns or your own custom arrangements.
