==Displaying Data on Maps and Assessing Autocorrelation==

'''Map Making:''' 
Visualizing maps and using them to display information

'''Detecting Autocorrelation:''' 
Are observations close to each other more likely to have similar values than those farther apart?

'''Why I chose this skill?'''
*Powerful alternative to ESRI
*Useful to people who work at macro-scales
*Daunting initially

'''How you can use it:''' 
*Identify trends/patterns
*Make prettier maps
*QAQC big databases
*Properly analyze your data

'''Challenges:'''
*Importing .shp so readable to ggplot
*Unique identifiers have to be perfect
*Takes some time to learn how to control ggplot
