In data science, statistics is at the core of sophisticated machine learning algorithms, capturing and translating data patterns into actionable evidence. Many statistical organizations are beginning to use location as the connective thread to uncover hidden patterns and improve predictive modeling. ArcGIS is your analysis technology, allowing you to derive spatial relationships and process, visualize, and understand images and data. ArcGIS allows you to see patterns, facilitate collaboration, and accelerate your science.

Your analysis system

Transform your data with geography

Turn raw location fields into analysis-ready data with ease. Benefit from tools made especially for spatial data prep. Use data from multiple sources to enable, extract, transform, and enrich location values. Give data meaning when you put it into context of the real world.

Make sense of your data

Visualize spatial patterns, trends, outliers, and anomalies. Generate hypotheses and keep your analysis moving forward. Explore your data to be sure you're asking the right questions. View raw data and results as part of the iterative analysis process.

Spatial problem-solving

Go beyond simple map visualizations by integrating location data into your analysis. Answer spatial questions using the most comprehensive set of analytical methods and algorithms available. Perform site selection, find clusters, make predictions, and quantify how patterns change over time. Create sophisticated statistical and machine learning models that unlock the full potential of your data.
