Spatial Data
In OSM, a tag is a pair of this.
key-value
This model measures access by asking simply how far away the nearest one is.
Proximity model
The idea you actually care about vs. the number you use to stand in for it.
Construct vs. measure
The idea that a destination gets less useful the farther away it is.
Distance decay
This is "data about data": sources, last update time, confidence.
Metadata
Name the two spatial data models in GIS.
The three ingredients of spatial accessibility.
Supply, demand, reach
Same data, same steps, run again by someone else — do they get the same answer? This is the term.
Reproduction
These two contiguity rules define who counts as a neighbor.
Rook and Queen continuity
The 1950s transformation that made Anglo-American geography a spatial science, replacing regional description with statistical models.
The quantitative revolution
Land-use class, survey rank, temperature in Celsius, and population count are each measured at a different one of these four levels. Name them in order.
Nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio (partial credit for three of four)
Walk Score belongs to this model family, and one of its variants weights the first amenity more than the rest.
Cumulative model
Vagueness is one branch of poorly-defined-object uncertainty. Name the other branch and its two subtypes.
Ambiguity; discord and nonspecificity
We use Spearman rather than Pearson on accessibility scores because rank-based correlation survives these two features of the data.
Skew and outliers
Kitchin & Lauriault's term for the tangle of technology, politics, institutions, and infrastructure behind any dataset.
Data assemblage
Name three of the six components of spatial data quality.
Positional accuracy, thematic accuracy, logical consistency, temporal quality, completeness, fitness for use
Summarize Nearby is really two ArcGIS tools running in sequence. Name them, in order.
Changing catchment size, travel mode, or income threshold and seeing if the answer holds tests this.
Conclusion validty
Comparing access across three income groups calls for this test.
Kruskal-Wallis
Haraway's term for presenting knowledge as if it came from a detached, universal vantage point
The God trick
When two polygon layers don't line up, you get these two artifacts.
Slivers and gaps
You built your accessibility measure assuming people drive. Name the validity type that breaks when someone runs your exact method in a city where most people take transit.
External validity
Comparing your dataset to a reference dataset is this kind of validation; using the dataset's own attributes is this kind.
External and internal validation.
Aggregating Iowa data to counties vs. tracts can change your correlation. Name the problem.
Modifiable Areal Unit Problem
Name four of the seven Data Feminism principles.
Examine power / Challenge power / Elevate emotion and embodiment / Rethink binaries and hierarchies / Embrace pluralism / Consider context / Make labor visible
