Hello-
I am trying to develop an integrating mapping application for crime analysis. I develop it using VB and mi6.5 working behind. I have accomplished thematic mapping for certain types of crime for a period of time. However, my boss (ms thesis advisor) asks me to expand to more complicated analysis. So far, I have added finding involved persons: when the user clicked on a point feature (the crime data incident), the involved persons appear in the map with tabular information (mi callback function). and I utilize MI bar chart tool when the user clicks on a district bar-chart information appears. Also the user can easily navigate in the map not only the classic tools(pan zoom etc.) but also selecting their names next to my map frame. Now I would like to ask as if you consider me not to know anything about: point pattern analysis spatial moving average and other types of density based analysis what could you to recommend me to develop new analysis capabilities? For instance I thought I could develop much intense thematic mapping or new tool such as using area information too. (crime population / area of district for thematic mapping) What does MI have for crime analysis? What else can I add with just using MI 6.5 behind? Or should I need any newer versions specifically for crime mapping? Any suggestions will be gratefully welcomed. Emre
