Hello! I am working with shark tagging data, and I am running a kernel density analysis in ArcGIS Pro to determine areas of highest density. My output visually looks correct, however the value outputs are confusing to me. I understand they are the pixel density, but I am wondering how I can translate to the population density of sharks in that area so I can use the numbers as well as the image in my analysis. For example when I run my kernel density in RStudio my output shows that 75% of the population is within a certain area. Any clarification would be very much appreciated!
Hi Dan,
Thank you again for your help I realized that one of my biggest issues was that I was using unprojected data, which is why I could not solve for a search radius. It is all fixed now and I was able to figure out my units! I ended up using a cell size of 18627. The advice to remove the pacific data as well as switch my method to geodesic helped so much! Thanks!!
Glad it worked out and thanks for the followup
