Overview

About

Maintained by Christopher PrenerFirst published 2018-12-315 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A pipeable, transparent implementation of areal weighted interpolation with support for interpolating multiple variables in a single function call. These tools provide a full-featured workflow for validation and estimation that fits into both modern data management (e.g. tidyverse) and spatial data (e.g. sf) frameworks.
