Data Analysis Techniques

• Excel
• Analyze a single variable (i.e. pie chart, histogram)
• Analyze two variables
• Relate two variables to each other across time (i.e. column-line graph)
• Use formulas to simplify calculations (i.e. averaging a column of data)
• Graph data in "real-time" (setting up a graph, erasing the data, and leaving a template)
• Import data from a table and format in columns (i.e. text to columns feature)
• Export data into different formats (i.e. comma separated values, csv) as a preparation step for using the data in a GIS
• ImageJ
• Measure distance and area on an image
• Save and export measurements so they can be graphed in Excel
• Annotate an image
• Adjust the brightness and contrast of an image
• Analyze the frequency distribution of the pixels in an image (i.e. histogram)
• Animate a series of images
• Create an animation from an image montage
• Select pixels in an image that fall within a specific range of pixel values (i.e.thresholding)
• AEJEE GIS
• Layer GIS data (in point, line, or area format) appropriately to build a GIS map
• Turn GIS data layers on and off or move layers up and down on a GIS map
• Add image data to a GIS map
• Identify features on a GIS map
• Select features on a GIS map
• Sort and select records of an attribute table linked to a GIS map
• Change the projection of a GIS map
• Import lat/long data into a GIS
• Query GIS data to find features matching a given criteria
• Buffer GIS data to find features within a distance of other features
