Importing Tutorials

Because SpaceStat recognizes the time dimension in your data, data import for SpaceStat requires time stamping your data. The time stamp can be specified on import for time-slice data, or read from the file for time-series data.  The Illinois tutorial will incorporate both types of data.

If you have used SpaceStat 1.8 or earlier, you may also be familiar with problem files.  Our new space-time platform requires some changes in how a user would import a problem file. The Problem File Import tutorial will describe an example of this.

In this set of tutorials, we will explore several ways to bring data into SpaceStat. Sample files are provided for use in the examples. You may wish to use these sample file as models for preparing your own data for import into SpaceStat.
