Spatial Analysis

Analytical techniques to determine the spatial

distribution of a variable, the relationship between

the spatial distribution of variables, and the

association of the variables in an area.

Pattern Analysis

Spatial Analysis Types

1. Spatial autocorrelation

2. Spatial interpolation

3. Spatial interaction

4. Simulation and modeling

5. Density mapping

Spatial Autocorrelation

Spatial autocorrelation statistics measure and analyze

the degree of dependency among observations in a

geographic space.

First law of geography: “everything is related to everything

else, but near things are more related than distant things.”

-- Waldo Tobler

Spatial Interpolation

Spatial interpolation methods estimate the variables

at unobserved locations in geographic space based

on the values at observed locations.

Spatial Interaction

Spatial interaction or “gravity models” estimate

the flow of people, material, or information

between locations in geographic space.

Simulation and Modeling

Simple interactions among proximal entities can

lead to intricate, persistent, and functional spatial

entities at aggregate levels (complex adaptive

systems).

Density Mapping

Calculating the proximity and frequency of a

spatial phenomenon by creating a probabilistic

surface.

‣ Conclusion

‣ Q&A

Data is Getting Big‣ NYSE: 1 TB/day

‣ Facebook: 20+ TB compressed/day

‣ CERN/LHC: 40 TB/day (15 PB/year!)

‣ And growth is accelerating

‣ Need multiple machines, horizontal scalability

Hadoop‣ Distributed file system (hard to store a PB)

‣ Fault-tolerant, handles replication, node failure, etc

‣ MapReduce-based parallel computation(even harder to process a PB)

‣ Generic key-value based computation interfaceallows for wide applicability

‣ Open source, top-level Apache project

‣ Scalable: Y! has a 4000-node cluster

‣ Powerful: sorted a TB of random integers in 62 seconds

MapReduce?‣ Challenge: how many tweets per

county, given tweets table?

‣ Input: key=row, value=tweet info

‣ Map: output key=county, value=1

‣ Shuffle: sort by county

‣ Reduce: for each county, sum

‣ Output: county, tweet count

‣ With 2x machines, runs close to 2x faster.

cat file | grep geo | sort | uniq -c > output

But...‣ Analysis typically done in Java

‣ Single-input, two-stage data flow is rigid

‣ Projections, filters: custom code

‣ Joins: lengthy, error-prone

‣ n-stage jobs: Hard to manage

‣ Prototyping/exploration requires compilation

‣ analytics in Eclipse?ur doin it wrong...

Enter Pig

‣ High level language

‣ Transformations on sets of records

‣ Process data one step at a time

‣ Easier than SQL?

Why Pig?‣ Because I bet you can read the following script.

A Real Pig Script

‣ Now, just for fun... the same calculation in vanilla Hadoop MapReduce.

No, seriously.

Pig Simplifies Analysis

‣ The Pig version is:

‣ 5% of the code, 5% of the time

‣ Within 50% of the execution time.

‣ Pig ♥ Geo:

‣ Programmable: fuzzy matching, custom filtering

‣ Easily link multiple datasets, regardless of size/structure

‣ Iterative, quick

A Real Example

‣ Fire up your EMR.

‣ Pete used Twitter’s streaming API to store some tweets

‣ Simplest thing: group by location and count with Pig

‣ Here comes some code!

tweets = LOAD 's3://where20demo/sample-tweets' as ( user_screen_name:chararray, tweet_id:chararray, ... user_friends_count:int, user_statuses_count:int, user_location:chararray, user_lang:chararray, user_time_zone:chararray, place_id:chararray, ...);

tweets_with_location = FILTER tweets BY user_location != 'NULL';

normalized_locations = FOREACH tweets_with_location GENERATE LOWER(user_location) as user_location;

grouped_tweets = GROUP normalized_locations BY user_location PARALLEL 10;

location_counts = FOREACH grouped_tweets GENERATE $0 as location, SIZE($1) as user_count;

sorted_counts = ORDER location_counts BY user_count DESC;

STORE sorted_counts INTO 'global_location_tweets';
