<b> Description of Written Project:</b>  Find a spatial dataset and analyze it using some of the methods
described in class, if they are relevant.  Your report should contain 3-4 pages
of written text, followed by as many figures as appropriate.  You may include as 
many figures as you like, but the text part of the report may NOT exceed 4 pages, 
double-spaced.  In selecting your dataset
choose something that interests you, and try to have a main, answerable question
in mind.  
Begin your paper with an introduction, a description of your data and how 
they were obtained, and a summary of the main question(s) to be addressed
in your paper.  Then summarize your analyses, paying very special attention
to any assumptions you are making and the plausibility of those assumptions. 
Conclude by assessing how effective the methods you used were in helping 
to answer your main question or questions.<br>
You may use R, or, xlisp-stat, or any software of your choice, 
for your analysis.<br><br>
