I’m a crime analyst in a mid-sized agency and want to go beyond kernel density — specifically near-repeat, Knox tests, and space-time cubes in ArcGIS Pro 3.3. Any recommendations for solid continuing ed (certs, workshops, or self-paced) that apply to burglary series and robbery patterns, preferably with R/Python integration? I can budget about 40 hours this quarter, so practical labs beat theory-only lectures.
I’d split 40 hours: Pro 3.3 Space Time Cube labs, then R’s stpp (Knox/near-repeat): CRAN: Package stpp — ok?
And @hannah_wilson23 ’s stpp call is solid; I prototype the Knox/near-repeat spatial and temporal windows in CrimeStat IV, then lock those into R and the Pro space-time cube so results line up — Archived | CrimeStat: Spatial Statistics Program for the Analysis of Crime Incident Locations | National Institute of Justice . The GUI’s old, but the window plots are worth it; are you measuring distances in State Plane or UTM?
