A quick note for the community: there will be no RFC session this week. We’ll be back next week for the grand finale! Session 4: Applications, Interpretation and Ethics in Public Health. In the meantime, catch up with earlier modules: afredac.net/courses/introduc… #Afredac

Today, we’re back with RFC Session 3! We’ll explore statistical tests used in geospatial analysis, disease clustering, hotspot detection and how GWR can help us investigate the relationship between environmental factors and health outcomes. 🔗 Sign up: afredac.net/introductory-spa…

This Thursday is an RFC day! Expect a walkthrough of the quiz, hands-on work with spatial patterns, clusters and hotspots in R, and plenty of time to troubleshoot your code and ask questions. 🔗 Sign up: afredac.net/introductory-spa… #Afredac #AfredacUbuntuPlatform
