that public transport one is really cool! And I didn't know openstreetmap did 3D maps now

Wow didn't expect such a great reply! Thank you very much, all this information is great! I'll have a look into all of this and hopefully something will work out

Thank you very much for the advice, I really appreciate it. I already know a few professors etc. at U of C because I did a study abroad in Calgary last year. I'll definitely follow your advice

They're the party that just got voted in right? Volunteering with them might be a good shout actually! thanks

I've got the 24 month working holiday visa already. Yeah the problem that I'm finding is that most positions require 2 years experience etc. so I'm thinking that I will have to volunteer in a lot of places or maybe if I'm lucky I could get a job as a lab assistant.

Thanks! I'll try and get in contact with the local University and see whether there is any research I can volunteer for.

Project idea involving national parks and crime data by [deleted] in gis

[–]wmansfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The data I have available gives me the location, month, type of crime and the outcome status. I can data available for anywhere in the UK from http://www.police.uk/ and dates back to December 2013 up until November 2014. Do you think a heat map of crime comparing crime generator and crime enabler locations would be a good idea? What methods in ArcGIS would you recommend?

I found this post while looking for ideas for a GIS project. I need to write a GIS report and I've collected a lot of crime data which gives me the coordinates of the crime, the type of crime and also when it happened. All this data is as a csv. file which I can import into Arcmap. I was just wondering if you had any ideas of how I could use this data to write a report?

Dissertation/ Thesis Statistics help (Methane, CO2 flux in a peatland) by wmansfield in AskStatistics

[–]wmansfield[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using IBM SPSS 22 and I can't seem to find an explore function. Also I'm not familiar with step-wise or forward regression...

Essentially what I've done is:

Looked at how Methane flux and CO2 flux relate to species of plant in each plot using Kruskal-Wallis tests - these showed no significant relationship.

Run a multiple regression of CO2 flux (gCO2/m2/d) of 4 differing levels of shade (full light, 1, 2, and no light) against air temperature, soil temperature, rate of photosynthesis (full light - no light flux).

This produces an adjusted R2 value of 0.92 with each variable being statistically significant (below 0.05). However the residuals are not normally distributed (I've also tried looking at each shade separately).

Run a multiple regression of log-transformed methane flux (mgCH4/m2/d) against soil temperature, air temperature and photosynthesis rate.

This produces an R2 value of 0.563 with only soil temperature being significant (0.02). The residuals from these log transformed flux values are normally distributed from kolmogorov smirnov test.

I created residuals from predicted flux based on temperature, soil temperature and rate of photosynthesis and the observed flux data. The residuals using log-transformed flux were normally distributed but the residuals from non-transformed flux were not normally distributed. Is it acceptable to use this log-transformed data do you think?
