PySAL is an open-source Python library for geospatial data science with an emphasis on geospatial vector data, distributed as a meta-package bundling a family of spatial analysis packages. It supports exploratory spatial data analysis, spatial regression and econometrics, spatial graph construction, and visualization of spatial patterns.
Use cases
- detect spatial clusters, hot-spots, and outliers in geospatial data
- build spatial weights matrices and graphs from points, lines, and polygons
- run spatial regression and spatial econometric models
- perform exploratory spatio-temporal data analysis
- measure spatial inequality, segregation, and distributional dynamics
- read and write geospatial vector file formats in Python
When to choose
- you need spatial statistics or spatial econometrics in Python
- you want an integrated ecosystem of geospatial analysis packages
- you are doing exploratory analysis of vector geodata such as clusters and hot-spots
When to avoid
- you only need raster data processing rather than vector spatial analysis
- you need a GIS desktop application rather than a Python library
- you require Python 2 support beyond the legacy 1.14 bug-fix-only release
