Nearest neighbor analysis
Copy the file Q:\StudentCoursework\Haffnerm\DATA\torn.csv to your folder on
the Q: drive. Then, add it to a map document in ArcGIS Pro.
- Retrieve a US states dataset and select just Wisconsin. Create a new layer from this selection.
- Clip the tornado locations to just those within Wisconsin.
- Transform the x,y data of the tornado locations into the CRS of the states dataset.
- Perform nearest neighbor analysis using the “Average nearest neighbor” tool. Be sure to check the box “Generate Report”, but leave all other options at their defaults.
- Perform nearest neighbor analysis again using proper parameters.
