Description
This book introduces the principles and techniques of Geographical Data Science and Spatial Data Analysis using R. As our daily lives generate vast amounts of data, identifying analytical insights from spatial trends and patterns is becoming increasingly important.
The increasing availability of big spatial data poses several challenges, including the need for robust statistical methods, effective data visualizations, and advanced spatial analytics. This book builds on existing knowledge in R, extending its capabilities to handle and analyze large datasets.
It addresses a significant gap in current literature by providing a comprehensive introduction to Big Spatial Data analysis, robust inferential methods, and advanced spatial manipulations and visualizations in R.
