Open GeoDa

Legacy GeoDa is a free software program that serves as an introduction to spatial data analysis and is used by over 36,600 people across the world (as of Dec. 2008). We are currently developing a cross-platform, open source version of the program -OpenGeoDa- that will run on Windows (XP and Vista), Mac OS, and Linux. It is written in C++ and no longer relies on ESRI's MapObjects library (it uses wxwidgets instead).

 

OpenGeoDa will contain all of the features of the current version of GeoDa (including ML spatial lag and error models and the current spatial diagnostics) plus several new features, including:

  • Inverse distance weights
  • A bivariate map movie
  • Additional map options, e.g., equal interval, unique value, and natural break maps
  • map panning

 

Alpha release versions of the program (that are very close to beta release) can be downloaded here.
