Hello,
I've decided to start a discussion, I'll be thankful if you can add something here or encourage any classmates, colleagues or researchers to share their knowledge as well.
Suppose someone aims to enter the realm of Spatial Data Analysis esp using Data Science and Quantitative Methods, how can you guide such a person to start his path? How long does it take for such a person to become a Spatial Data Scientists and Analyst.
Any ideas or experience will be helpful for everybody.
Dear Pooya,
Two skills that a spatial data analyst may need (among others):
1) algorithmic mindset, openness to programming;
2) the ability to analyze such a large amount of data that can not be checked visually.
Ákos
Dear my friend,
I think it really depends on what you call Data Analyst. There are lots of analysis that require background knowledge of the algorithm and as Akos Bede Fazekas replied it really requires programming skills and algorithmic mindset.
Sincerely yours.

Dear Ákos Bede-Fazekas,
Thank you for your reply, what you suggested is surely required but I intended to start such a discussion for researchers and experts like you to shed some light more narrowly and specify some paths that somebody deciding to start building his/her skills could use it as a road map. How can the 2 skills you mentioned be acquired?
Milad Malekzadeh
Dear Milad,
Thank you for your response. As I mentioned above, my goal for starting this discussion is to initialize some conversations that might lay the foundations for sth like a road map, for somebody deciding to enter the Spatial Data Mining and Spatial Data Science field. Such person needs to know the current needs and requirements of both academic and work areas.
Regards,
Pooya
