Te damos la bienvenida al módulo 1 de nuestro curso. En este módulo respondemos a las preguntas ¿Qué es, cómo es y para qué sirve la información geográfica? Para ello nos centramos en aprender sobre la potencia de la información geográfica, el marco de referencia geográfico y el modelaje y representación de la información geográfica.

WEEK 2
¿Qué podemos hacer con la información geográfica?
Bienvenido al segundo módulo del curso. En este módulo responderemos a la pregunta ¿Qué podemos hacer con la información geográfica? Para ellos nos centraremos en estudiar cuatro temas principales: El análisis espacial y cuáles SIG hay disponibles, las operaciones básicas y el uso de análisis espacial y aprenderemos cómo resolver problemas espaciales más complejos mediante el modelamiento cartográfico.

WEEK 3
Cambio climático y mal de Chagas en Colombia
Te damos la bienvenida al tercer módulo del curso. En este módulo nos enfocaremos en aprender acerca del cambio climático y el mal de Chagas, muy conocido en Colombia. Para ello, avanzaremos en tres temas principales: cómo preparar la información geográfica en temas de salud humana y el cambio climático, ubicaremos dónde está el mal de Chagas en Colombia como caso de estudio, y reflexionaremos sobre condiciones del futuro para mapear el mal de Chagas, como análisis de un caso. 

WEEK 4
Observación de la Tierra con sensores remotos
Te damos la bienvenida al cuarto y último módulo del curso. En este módulo nos enfocaremos en el tema de la observación de la tierra con sensores remotos. Para ello entenderemos y trabajaremos con los cubos de datos y realizaremos nuestra actividad de proyecto final.

Modeling Time Series and Sequential Data (Coursera)

In this course you learn to build, refine, extrapolate, and, in some cases, interpret models designed for a single, sequential series. There are three modeling approaches presented. The traditional, Box-Jenkins approach for modeling time series is covered in the first part of the course. This presentation moves students from models for stationary data, or ARMA, to models for trend and seasonality, ARIMA, and concludes with information about specifying transfer function components in an ARIMAX, or time series regression, model. A Bayesian approach to modeling time series is considered next.
