Applied Spatial Data Analysis with R, second edition, is divided
into two basic parts, the first presenting R packages, functions,
classes and methods for handling spatial data. This part is of
interest to users who need to access and visualise spatial data.
Data import and export for many file formats for spatial data are
covered in detail, as is the interface between R and the open
source GRASS GIS and the handling of spatio-temporal data. The
second part showcases more specialised kinds of spatial data
analysis, including spatial point pattern analysis, interpolation
and geostatistics, areal data analysis and disease mapping. The
coverage of methods of spatial data analysis ranges from standard
techniques to new developments, and the examples used are largely
taken from the spatial statistics literature. All the examples can
be run using R contributed packages available from the CRAN
website, with code and additional data sets from the book's own
website. Compared to the first edition, the second edition covers
the more systematic approach towards handling spatial data in R, as
well as a number of important and widely used CRAN packages that
have appeared since the first edition.
This book will be of interest to researchers who intend to use R
to handle, visualise, and analyse spatial data. It will also be of
interest to spatial data analysts who do not use R, but who are
interested in practical aspects of implementing software for
spatial data analysis. It is a suitable companion book for
introductory spatial statistics courses and for applied methods
courses in a wide range of subjects using spatial data, including
human and physical geography, geographical information science and
geoinformatics, the environmental sciences, ecology, public health
and disease control, economics, public administration and political
science.
The book has a website where complete code examples, data sets,
and other support material may be found: http:

The authors have taken part in writing and maintaining software
for spatial data handling and analysis with R in concert since
2003."
