Talk “Mixed-Scale Spatial Autocorrelation” in Osnabrück

Last Tuesday, René Westerholt gave a talk about the assessment of spatial autocorrelation within social media data. It was part of the regular colloquium of the Institute for Geoinformatics and Remote Sensing at Osnabrück University. The talk provided an overview of challenges that occur due to the spatially and semantically mixed nature of social media…

A local scale-sensitive indicator of spatial autocorrelation for assessing high- and low-value clusters in multi-scale datasets (e.g., social media datasets)

Georeferenced user-generated datasets like those extracted from Twitter and similar social media feeds are increasingly gaining the interest of spatial analysts. Such datasets oftentimes reflect a wide array of real-world phenomena. However, each of these phenomena takes place at a certain spatial scale. Therefore, user-generated datasets are of multi-scale nature. Such datasets cannot be properly…
