What is Vesta?
Vesta is a powerful tool to visualize temporal and spatial trends in various formats. Vesta is an evolution of our software, SpaceStat. Vesta has a new, user-friendly design that makes for smooth data importing, exploring spatial patterns, and making predictions and time forecasting.
We have expanded the foundation BioMedware created for geospatial data analysis in a way that is familiar to the seasoned geostatistician yet accessible for non-expert users with detailed support material.


Introducing Vesta 2.5!
This newest update to Vesta is the latest innovation in GIS, mapping, and data visualization. It’s the same intuitive software, but with new upgrades that will make your workflow even more dynamic. Users can now utilize compositional joinpoint regression analysis (beta), time plots, categorical variables in variography and kriging, customizable point size in maps, and modeling of uncertainty using indicator kriging. See Vesta Features for more details.
Who can use Vesta?
Vesta allows users to make statistical inferences about data patterns that can inform policy and health decisions. The Vesta software can be used for infrastructure, cancer registries, urban planning, agricultural optimization, or to analyze the exposome.

Vesta Features
Accessing all Vesta features does not require a coding background. Vesta features include:

Compositional Joinpoint Regression
Model time series of related variables with compositional joinpoint analysis

Highlight Observations
Highlight the same observations on multiple graphs (i.e., maps, histograms, scatterplots) by linking and brushing

Customizable Point Size in Maps
Change the size of points in your maps so you can better highlight the most important features in your data

Time Plots
Track how your data evolves over time with beautiful, easy-to-interpret plots

Easy Analysis
Visualize time-dependent behavior of graphs and summary statistics by simply moving a time slider bar.

Missing Data
Handle missing data in visualizations and calculations during data import

Exploratory Analysis
Conduct exploratory analysis through the visualization of data in table, map, histogram, scatterplot, heatmap, time plot, and boxplot.

Categorical Variables
Use categorical variables to create variograms and perform spatial interpolation
