Description: Geocomputation with R is for people who want to analyze visualize and model geographic data with open source software. It is based on R a statistical programming language that has powerful data processing visualization and geospatial capabilities. The book equips you with the knowledge and skills to tackle a wide range of issues manifested in geographic data including those with scientific societal and environmental implications. This book will interest people from many backgrounds especially Geographic Information Systems (GIS) users interested in applying their domain - specific knowledge in a powerful open source language for data science and R users interested in extending their skills to handle spatial data. The book is divided into three parts: (I) Foundations aimed at getting you up - to - speed with geographic data in R (II) extensions which covers advanced techniques and (III) applications to real - world problems. The chapters cover progressively more advanced topics with early chapters providing strong foundations on which the later chapters build. Part I describes the nature of spatial datasets in R and methods for manipulating them. It also covers geographic data import/export and transforming coordinate reference systems. Part II represents methods that build on these foundations. It covers advanced map making (including web mapping) "bridges" to GIS sharing reproducible code and how to do cross - validation in the presence of spatial autocorrelation. Part III applies the knowledge gained to tackle real - world problems including representing and modeling transport systems finding optimal locations for stores or services and ecological modeling. Exercises at the end of each chapter give you the skills needed to tackle a range of geospatial problems. Solutions for each chapter and supplementary materials providing extended examples are available at https://geocompr. github. io/geocompkg/articles/.
