Thank you for the information! I'm new to YPN and spatial statistics--I'm currently a student and have only taken one ESDA/spatial statistics in R class and would love to learn more about the topic. Are there any resources, like specific tutorials or upcoming workshops, you like to recommend?

Hi @GinaGirgente, welcome to Esri YPN! I think you may find this Esri Academy web course valuable: https://www.esri.com/training/catalog/58b5e417b89b7e000d8bfe45/using-the-rarcgis-bridge/

Also, Esri's free Spatial Data Science MOOC may be a great fit for you. 😊 The course will open on August 28, but registration is open now: https://www.esri.com/training/catalog/5d76dcf7e9ccda09bef61294/spatial-data-science%3A-the-new-front...

Hi @KatieSmith, thank you so much for the recommendations! I just completed my first MOOC today and loved it. I had no idea there was one being offered for spatial data science, so thank you for letting me know! I've just registered for it. 😊 And I am definitely going to check out that Esri Academy web course, I was looking for something new to work on now that I finished the MOOC!

Great information! As someone who has completed the web course and MOOC, what would be some further steps to expand my skillset and knowledge? Thanks

Hi @MikaylaLewis, nice work completing both the web course and MOOC! Did you enjoy them? 😊  Here are a couple more resources you may find helpful. Both of these links include options for instructor-led courses, which are live with an Esri expert instructor, so you can ask questions and get answers right away. I understand not everyone has the budget for those, but that style of learning is especially effective. 

Spatial Analysis and Data Science Fundamentals - learning plan

Spatial Data Science MOOC - next steps courses

 

And here are some additional spatial analysis and data science resources on Esri Academy: https://www.esri.com/training/Bookmark/FK9MCYMNE 

 

Additionally, you may consider achieving an Esri technical certification to put your skills to the test. You can explore all exams at https://www.esri.com/training/certification-find-exam/search/
