Hi All
This should be simple-but ArcGis keeps getting stuck at 22%...I have a large shapefile, which contains multiple overlapping polygons for various species-and I would like to count for any area how many polygons overlap.A script would be really fantastic!Thanks in advance

Wouldn't it just? However, as usual, such scripts will only cause grief, as they will not (necessarily) match your workflow. Most likely, you have two choices, one to rasterise thr polygons separately (not together, because they overlap), then count overlapping cells.

If the shapefile is "large", like tens of thousands of polygons, you could try the rgeos package, first using gUnarySTRtreeQuery() or gBinarySTRtreeQuery() to identify possible overlapping candidates (these functions report intersecting bounding boxes of polygons).

Next try gOverlaps() subsetting the input objects by the output of the intersecting bounding boxes. Once you've found the overlaps, take their intersections with gIntersection(), and get the area with gArea(). Note that this only applies to planar, projected polygons. If they are in geographical coordinates, project before using gArea(). Look carefully at the byid= arguments in gOverlaps, gIntersection and gArea. Depending on the complexity of the setting, you may be using for loops and subsetting by indices - there are examples in Ch. 5 of ASDAR (2nd edition) of this kind of subsetting (or see the online code at www.asdar-book.org), about chunks 41-3 in http://www.asdar-book.org/book2ed/cm2_mod.R.

Hope this helps,

Hi Christian,
This formatting shows that the data has been read in as a single column with 
'V1' as the column name and 'x,y' as the value of row 1, and so on:

test<-read.table("test.csv")> test
               V11              x,y
2   648501,89104003   641686,8917264
4   645984,89143285   647058,8913794
6   649659,89129257   649613,8912828
.....

You can check how many columns there are in a data frame using 'ncol':

ncol(test)
To troubleshoot, I would first try using read.csv:

test=read.csv(test,as.is=TRUE)ncol(test)

If this does not give you two columns, then I would check that the file really 
is in standard .csv format.

Leila,

Thanks for your reply. I'm using likelihood cross validation (CVh) instead of 
least squares cross validation (LSCV). To my knowledge adehabitatHR doesn't run 
CVh so I think I will need to write a script or find another program which can 
calculate CVh.


I used GME from spatialecology.com to calculate all of my KDEs, but I don't 
think GME runs bootstrapping. So I'm trying to run it through the bootstrapping 
package in R. Here is what I need to do:


1) Create my spatial points layer
=mydata

2) Run the bootstrapping script:

mydataboot<-boot(mydata, (KDE script), R=1000)

mydata= my spatial points file
(KDE script)= what formula to run the bootstrap on

R=1000 = the number of iterations I would like to run

The issue I'm having is getting the bootstrapping script to run the KDE 
formula=(KDE script)

Cheers,
Christian

Hi Christian,

There is a package called adehabitatHR that does kernel density estimation with 
LSCV bandwidth using a function called kernelUD(). I don't know if this will is 
similar to what you want? You will need to have the data in UTM and in 
SpatialPoints or SpatialPointsDataFrame format, which you can do using the sp 
package.



There is a great vignette for adehabitatHR that will help with data formatting 
and running the KDE. I  exported the utilisation distribution for ArcGIS using 
writeRaster() in the raster package, but you can also export as contours.



Cheers

Leila

Hi Christian,



What sort of data are you trying to import? A series of lat/longs that are in a 
text (or Excel) file? If so, the rGDAL library can be used to create spatial 
points:



###############

library(rgdal)

# if you don't already have this installed, you can do: 
install.packages('rgdal')



# read in the data from a tab-delimited text file that has a header line

rawPoints <- read.table('/data.csv', header=TRUE, sep='\t')



# format as a SpatialPoint class and define the projection/datum (WGS84)

q <- cbind(rawPoints$recordLon, rawPoints$recordLat)

colnames(q) <- c("x", "y")

qqq <- SpatialPoints(q, proj4string=CRS("+init=epsg:4326"))

###############



Note: the above is a copied-and-pasted fragment from a working script of mine. 
I assume this fragment will work for you.



I can't help you with your second question, and the answer to your third 
question will depend on the format of the bootstrap data (e.g., more points, 
polygons, raster).





Hope this helps,



Stewart

Hi All,



I would like to run a bootstrap within R on a spatial dataset using a kernel 
density estimation function. Can anyone help me with this? I am new to R and 
thus have very little experience. It seems relatively easy to run the actual 
bootstrap but I am having problems in the following areas:



1) I don't know how to import spatial data into R and assign it an appropriate 
projection

2) I need to setup a kernel function using a specific bandwidth (likelihood 
cross-validation (CVh)) and create the script so it will run within the 
bootstrap script

3) I need to export the bootstrap data as an ArcGIS 10 file.



Best Regards,
