Temporal Collect Events tool fails

[Public_HealthObservatory]

I can't seem to run the Temporal Collect Events tool. My Python is pretty bad so I am not even sure how to troubleshoot. The other tool in that toolbox (Temportal Collect Polygon) runs fine.

Thanks!

Hi Tracy,

We tweaked a few things in 10.3 that caused issues with the sample scripts.  Here's an updated version that should work   Thanks for catching that.

Also ... I don't know what the question that you are trying to answer is, but these sample script tools eventually evolved into the tools that are in our Space Time Pattern Mining toolbox.  In 10.3, Create Space Time Cube aggregates events into bins which can be then analyzed with Emerging Hot Spot Analysis. It might be valuable (and lots of fun) to check those out as well.

Hope that was helpful.

Thank you so much Jenora for such a speedy response! The updated toolbox works perfectly. I'm working on some exploratory disease analysis and am just trying to determine the best tools for this particular job. I've definitely been exploring the Space Time Pattern Mining tools as well. Thanks for your help!

Hi Richard,

Did you try using the updated toolbox that is attached above?

Hi Jenora,

I have tested updated toolbox. It is running very good. Thank you for sharing.
