The core mission of GeoCommons is bringing the power of geography to the masses. First we focused on making data more accessible, then quality cartographic visualization of data, and today we’ve added geographic analysis of data. Over Christmas we blogged about the “12 Analytics of Christmas” we’d built for GeoIQ. We are celebrating Christmas in June bringing all those analytics and more to GeoCommons.
Now anyone can run analysis on their data and share it with the world. GeoCommons has a variety of geoprocessing and statistical analysis tools available for anyone to use. If you aren’t familiar with the lingo – geoprocessing capabilities allow you do geographic queries like aggregate customers by zipcode, or find all the houses within one mile of a metro stop. Statistical analysis tools let you look at things like the difference between two time time periods, or run a correlation between two data sets. We have tutorials and user manuals to step you through all the new capabilities. Also there are step by step videos and guides for each new analysis feature embedded at the point you are choosing it.
