TOOL: Generate Network Spatial Weights<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Toolset: Modeling Spatial Relationships<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Summary: This tool allows the analysis of the spatial relationship between features whose connections are restricted to a network. This means that the movement between two points can only take place through specific routes. Consequently, if one wants to analyze the shortest distance between two points, the Euclidean (straight-line) might not be the appropriate measurement.<\/p>\n

The Generate Network Spatial Weights<\/a> generates a spatial weight matrix which quantifies the relationship between features based on their neighboring relationships and under the restriction of a network dataset.<\/p>\n

TOOL: <\/strong>Linear Directional Mean<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Toolset: Measuring Geographic Distributions <\/a><\/p>\n

Summary: This tool measures the trend of a set of lines to identify their mean direction, length, and geographic center. It can calculate mean direction and\/or mean orientation. In the first case, the start and end points of the lines matter; in the second, they don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

The output of the Linear Directional Mean<\/a> is a single line centered on the calculated mean center, length equal to the mean length and direction (or orientation) equal to the mean direction (or mean orientation) all input vectors.<\/p>\n

VIDEO: Performing Proper Density Analysis<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

http:\/\/video.arcgis.com\/watch\/401\/performing-proper-density-analysis<\/a><\/p>\n

Duration: 12:11min<\/p>\n

Summary: The purpose of this video is to explain importance of user-decisions (such as input parameters) when performing a density analysis and generate awareness of the existence of subjective aspects of the results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
