This workshop will cover introductory concepts, tools, and techniques to model spatially referenced data observed over a regular or irregular grid. We will cover models such as spatial autoregressive that emphasizes the idea of spatial correlation via neighborhood. The workshop will focus on conceptual aspects, diagnostics tests, implementation in R, and interpretation of results.
In the R world, lme4 is a great package for mixed model estimation, and the most widely used for such models. For standard settings, few tools will do the trick as easily or as quickly, and because of that, its approach has been emulated in other packages and statistical programs. However, that ease and efficiency […]

Geostatistics models continuous variation over geographical space. It is widely used for spatial interpolation. We will use R and ArcGIS to explore and develop an understanding of variogram and kriging and how they can be used for robust and unbiased interpolation of data over space. Depending on the interests of the participants, the workshop will […]
