Continuous dispersal on a discrete lattice

September 27, 2012 | Corey Chivers

Dispersal is a key process in many domains, and particularly in ecology. Individuals move in space, and this movement can be modelled as a random process following some kernel. The dispersal kernel is simply a probability distribution describing the distance travelled in a given time frame. Since space is continuous, ... [Read more...]

Simple Spatial Correlograms for Cross-Country Analysis in R

May 9, 2012 | diffuseprior

Accounting for temporal dependence in econometric analysis is important, as the presence of temporal dependence violates the assumption that observations are independent units. Historically, much less attention has been paid to correcting for spatial dependence, which, if present, also violates this independence assumption. The comparability of temporal and spatial dependence ... [Read more...]

Plot maps like a boss

March 5, 2012 | Ian

A new package OpenStreetMap has been released to CRAN this week which is designed to allow you to easily add satellite imagery, or open street maps to your plots. Raster maps are a great way to add context to your spatial data with a minimum outlay of effort. The syntax ... [Read more...]

Spatial correlation in designed experiments

October 20, 2011 | Luis

Last Wednesday I had a meeting with the folks of the New Zealand Drylands Forest Initiative in Blenheim. In addition to sitting in a conference room and having nice sandwiches we went to visit one of our progeny trials at … Continue reading → [Read more...]

Shipping Mix

October 20, 2011 | john.nelson

With a fresh pile of historical global shipping data, we came back to the flow visualizations that illustrated tangible supply lines that facilitate global trade.  This time we've isolated two types of shipping vessels, cargo and tanker, in order ...

Great circles, raster, sp and lattice

May 20, 2011 | Oscar Perpiñán Lamigueiro

Recently I found a post at FlowingData with a detailed tutorial to map connections with great circles with R. The tutorial of FlowingData is excellent, but I feel more comfortable with the sp classes and methods, and with the lattice and latticeExtra packages. Besides, I want to use the free ...
