Chapter 6 Final Words
This is just a glimpse what it is possible to do with R for geospatial data analysis. There is more to discover ! You can do spatial analysis and geostatistics like spatial autocorrelation, kriging, etc. If you want to know more about it, please see Spatial Data Science with R website.
We hope the material does help you get started with R, making it accessible for non staticians or non geographer people (the author is neither of that). R can be use alone as a full GIS, providing tools for data preparation, analysis, mapping and reporting. It can be also use in combination with other GIS tools like GRASS, SAGA or QGIS.
This document has been made using the bookdown package (Xie 2018) and has been inspired by Maël Theulière bookdown tutorial “Les données spatiales avec R” (in French) and Geocomputation with R (Lovelace, Nowosad, Muenchow).
