I'm teaching spatial, stochastic simulation in my #DataAnalytics course.
To help my students make the leap from spatial estimation to spatial simulation I built out this #Python @matplotlib dashboard with my sequential Gaussian simulation codes on #GitHub @ github.com/GeostatsGuy/DataS… ∀.
Students learn by playing with #DataScience methods!
