Datasets for Spatial Analysis

Diverse spatial datasets for demonstrating, benchmarking and teaching spatial data analysis. It includes R data of class sf (defined by the package 'sf'), Spatial ('sp'), and nb ('spdep'). Unlike other spatial data packages such as 'rnaturalearth' and 'maps', it also contains data stored in a range of file formats including GeoJSON, ESRI Shapefile and GeoPackage. Some of the datasets are designed to illustrate specific analysis techniques. cycle_hire() and cycle_hire_osm(), for example, is designed to illustrate point pattern analysis techniques.

Geographic Data Analysis and Modeling

Reading, writing, manipulating, analyzing and modeling of gridded spatial data. The package implements basic and high-level functions. Processing of very large files is supported. There is a also support for vector data operations such as intersections. See the manual and tutorials on < https://rspatial.org/> to get started.

Spatial Association Between Regionalizations

Calculates a degree of spatial association between regionalizations or categorical maps using the information-theoretical V-measure (Nowosad and Stepinski (2018) ). It also offers an R implementation of the MapCurve method (Hargrove et al. (2006) ).

Analysis of Aerobiological Data

Supports analysis of aerobiological data. Available features include determination of pollen season limits, replacement of outliers (Kasprzyk and Walanus (2014) ), and calculation of growing degree days.

Additional Functions for 'GeoPAT' 2

Supports analysis of spatial data processed with the 'GeoPAT' 2 software < http://sil.uc.edu/cms/index.php?id=geopat2>. Available features include creation of a grid based on the 'GeoPAT' 2 grid header file and reading a 'GeoPAT' 2 text outputs.

'CARTOColors' Palettes

Provides color schemes for maps and other graphics designed by 'CARTO' as described at < https://carto.com/carto-colors/>. It includes four types of palettes: aggregation, diverging, qualitative, and quantitative.

Boltzmann Entropy of a Landscape Gradient

Calculates the Boltzmann entropy of a landscape gradient. This package uses the analytical method created by Gao, P., Zhang, H. and Li, Z., 2018 (). It also extend the original idea by allowing calculations on data with missing values.

Pattern-Based Zoneless Method for Analysis and Visualization of Racial Topography

Implements a computational framework for a pattern-based, zoneless analysis, and visualization of (ethno)racial topography. It is a reimagined approach for analyzing residential segregation and racial diversity based on the concept of 'landscape’ used in the domain of landscape ecology.

Creates Co-Occurrence Matrices for Spatial Data

Builds co-occurrence matrices based on spatial raster data. It includes creation of weighted co-occurrence matrices (wecoma) and integrated co-occurrence matrices (incoma; Vadivel et al. (2007) ).

Create Cartograms with R

Construct continuous and non-contiguous area cartograms.
