This report consists of materials prepared for a GIS spatial analysis course offered as part of the Geography curriculum at the University of Nevada, Reno and the University of California at Santa Barbara in the spring of 2000. The report is intended to share information with instructors preparing spatial-modeling training and scientists with advanced GIS expertise. The students taking this class had completed each universities GIS curriculum and had a foundation in statistics as part of a science major. This report is organized into chapters that contain the following:

• Slides used during lectures,
• Guidance on the use of Arcview,
  
• Introduction to filtering in Arcview,
• Conventional and spatial correlation in Arcview,
  
• Tools for fuzzification in Arcview,
  
• Data and instructions for creating using ArcSDM for simple weights-of-evidence, fuzzy logic, and neural network models for Carlin-type gold deposits in central Nevada,
  
• Reading list on spatial modeling, and
  
• Selected student spatial-modeling posters from the laboratory exercises.
