Introducing GeoStats for Wherobots and Apache Sedona

We are excited to introduce GeoStats, a machine learning (ML) and statistical toolbox for Wherobots and Apache Sedona users. With GeoStats, you can easily identify critical patterns in geospatial datasets such as hotspots and anomalies, and quickly get critical insights from large scale data. While these algorithms are supported in other packages, we’ve optimized each algorithm to be highly performant for small to planetary scale geospatial workloads. That means, you can get results from these algorithms significantly faster, at a lower cost, and do it all more productively, through a unified development experience purpose-built for geospatial data science and ETL.

What is Apache Sedona?

Apache Sedona is a cluster computing system for processing large-scale spatial data. It treats spatial data as a first class citizen by extending the functionality of distributed compute frameworks like Apache Spark, Apache Flink, and Snowflake. Apache Sedona was created at Arizona State University under the name Geospark, in the paper “Spatial Data Management in Apache Spark: The GeoSpark Perspective and Beyond.
