IS 301 - Location Analytics

(3.00 cr.)

Data is used by several industries, notably those in financial services and healthcare, along with city, county, state, and national governments, to generate insights about populations, transportation, and epidemiology. Data that is tied to a location and can be identified through zip codes and other means (latitude, longitude) can afford unique insights to help decision makers. Students in this course use GeoDA (a free open-source GIS tool) to mine location data to solve business intelligence problems in the areas of logistics, market analysis, and real estate management.
