Vesta
Visualization and Exploratory Space-Time data Analysis
Vesta is a powerful tool to visualize temporal and spatial trends in a variety of formats. Vesta is a reworking of our software, SpaceStat. We have implemented a fresh, user-friendly design that makes for smooth data importing and visualizations, evaluating spatial patterns, and making spatial predictions and time forecasting.
We have designed and built on the foundation that BioMedware created for geospatial data analysis in a way that is accessible for non-expert users with detailed support material, as well as for the seasoned geostatistician.

Vesta Features
Vesta 1.0 features data visualization and exploratory analysis:
- Support data sources with different geographic projections such as esri Shapefiles, and Excel files
- The maps created in Vesta overlay data over map tiles background, similar to viewing a route on a virtual map
- Conduct exploratory analysis through the visualization of data in table, map, histogram, scatterplot, heatmap, timeplot, and boxplot
- Highlight the same observations on multiple graphs (i.e., maps, histograms, scatterplots) by linking and brushing
- Visualize time-dependent behavior of graphs and summary statistics simply moving a time slider bar
- Export visualizations and tables as image files, and save project files


Future Features
Several analytical functionalities will be added incrementally in future releases of Vesta, including:
- Joinpoint regression to model temporal trends and estimate the timing of any significant changes (look for Vesta 2.0!)
- More comprehensive features for changing spatial support to derive the values of different attributes over different geographical units
- Geostatistical methods to characterize spatial patterns and make predictions at un-sampled locations and unmonitored times using multiple data layers
- Regression models to estimate values of a given variable from a set of explanatory variables
How to use Vesta
Vesta allows users to make statistical inferences about data patterns that can inform policy and health decisions.

Get Vesta
At this time, we offer a Vesta 1.0 single seat license option at no cost for a limited time! A single seat license can be used by one user and installed on up to three workstations. The license will be valid through December 2023, and will be available for download until Vesta 2.0 is launched. Once Vesta 2.0 releases, we will no longer offer Vesta 1.0.


Installing Vesta
Once you acquire a Vesta license, check your email for the license key to install the software. For more detailed directions, click here.
Vesta requires Windows OS 10 and up. Vesta software requires internet connection to regularly validate license status and to load all map features. The software functions without internet connection as any other desktop app, however to have the full feature experience internet connection is recommended.
