NOTE Because all tables are saved in dBASE format they can also be opened up separately in Excel for more advanced graphing functions NOTE Road lengths and polygon areas are calculated according to the actual sizes of the feature Therefore if your features are in latitude longitude coordinates then your size values will be reported in degrees rather than any useful measure Therefore you are recommended to apply this tool on projected data if you wish to calculate accurate size values AN EXAMPLE WITH GRID DATA The general statistics tool works equally well with vector and raster data For example if we wanted to calculate general statistics and a histogram of elevation values within our primary corridor polygon we would first clip the elevation grid to the primary corridor polygon using the Clip Tool and then apply the general summary statistics tool directly to the clipped elevation grid Summary Statistics Calculate statistics for one or more fields from any feature dataset raster dataset or standalone table Statistics will be displayed in a Report window and saved in dBASE tables in folder specified below 1 Select a data layer or table 12 elevation_clip Raster Dataset 2 Choose one or more statistics to calculate from the following data fields f Standard Deviation Y Histogram 3 Specify folder for output tables D arcGIS_stuff consultation az_linkages data2 gt M Sta

18. 62 The Cross Tabulation Table Tool Cross tabulation tables sometimes called Contingency tables are a useful way to investigate the joint distribution of two variables They are essentially 2 dimensional histograms in which each cell in the table contains the amount or percentage of observations that occur within the joint range of two variables similar to manner in which a histogram bin shows the number of observations in a single variable For example if we record the slope and elevation at various points on the landscape we could generate a cross tab table as follows Slope in Degrees Elevation m 0 15 15 30 30 45 45 60 Sum 1000 1250 1250 1500 1500 1750 1750 2000 The upper left data cell containing the value 0 448 is telling us that 44 8 of the observed locations had a slope between 0 and 15 and an elevation between 1000m and 1250m The Sum row and column contain the values that would determine the bin size of a traditional 1 dimensional histogram and the lower right cell contains the sum of all the data cells in the table If the table values are percentages as illustrated above then the sum will always be 1 i e 100 If the table values are counts then the sum will simply be the count of all the observations Cross tab tables are commonly used to view joint distributions of data because they are informative and easy to understand Spatial datasets provide a special challenge however be

EIGHTED This example assumes that you have already generated the Distance to Roads data and added it to a new attribute field in the Parcels feature class NOTE If you are unfamiliar with how to do this then a fairly simple method would be as follows 1 Create a table of Minimum Distance to Roads values for each parcel Use the Spatial Analyst Zonal Statistics as Table tool located in ArcToolbox then Spatial Analyst Tools then Zonal Make sure your Zone Field is something that uniquely identifies each polygon 2 Join this table to your Parcels feature class using the unique ID field to match the records Note that the Zonal Stats table contains a variety of statistics including the minimum Distance to Road value found in each polygon 3 Adda new numeric field to your Parcels feature class defined so that it can correctly hold the distance values i e make sure it is either an integer or floating point depending on your needs 4 Use the Field Calculator function to transfer the minimum distance values from your joined Zonal Stats Minimum Distance field to this new attribute field 5 Remove the joined Zonal Stats table from your Parcels feature class NOTE Steps 3 5 above are necessary because the cross tab input data dialog will not display joined attribute fields It will only show you attribute fields that are actually part of your feature class or table Click the Cro
