About

Maintained by Wenbo LyuFirst published 2022-05-1710 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Understanding spatial association is essential for spatial statistical inference, including factor exploration and spatial prediction. Geographically optimal similarity (GOS) model is an effective method for spatial prediction, as described in Yongze Song (2022) doi:10.1007/s11004-022-10036-8. GOS was developed based on the geographical similarity principle, as described in Axing Zhu (2018) doi:10.1080/19475683.2018.1534890. GOS has advantages in more accurate spatial prediction using fewer samples and critically reduced prediction uncertainty.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("geosimilarity", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("ausgis/geosimilarity")

Development version from ausgis/geosimilarity. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-geosimilarity

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-geosimilarity

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-geosimilarity

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
