WORKSHOP
Workshop proposal (based on workshop to be given at AAG Conference, April 2007, San Francisco):
Title: Analyzing Spatial Data with R
Workshop Capacity: 30
The workshop is for participants needing to use R, the leading open source statistical analysis environment, with spatial data. It will show how data can be imported, analyzed in one or more packages, displayed in graphical form, and perhaps exported from R. It will do this by introducing the foundation classes for spatial data provided in the sp package, and show how they make work with spatial data easier. The classes have shared interfaces to common file formats for spatial data, and a range of sub setting, plot, overlay, and sampling methods. Participants should bring a laptop.
