Re: [Qgis-user] Second Call For A New Training Course - An Introduction To Integrating QGIS/GIS And R For Spatial Analysis

Hi Colin,

R script support was added to the QGIS Resource Sharing
plugin recently.

I have also updated some of the scripts in the QGIS 2
online collection to sf and made them available through the
official QGIS Resource Sharing repository.

You (and your students) can download these updated scripts by
choosing "QGIS R script collection" in the "All" tab of the
QGIS Resource Sharing plugin and clicking on "Install".
The scripts should immediately become available under
R in the Processing Toolbox.

If you would like to use the QGIS 2 R script collection, it
can be found as "QGIS R script collection (from QGIS 2)".
Scripts that have Spatial types as input or output won't work
without modifications.

If you update some of the QGIS 2 scripts and would like to
add them to the official QGIS Resource Sharing collection
for the course, just send them to me, and I will do my best
to get them included asap.

A "User manual" for the QGIS Resource Sharing plugin can
be found on:
http://qgis-contribution.github.io/QGIS-ResourceSharing/

Good luck with your course!


Regards,

Håvard

[Qgis-user] Second Call For A New Training Course - An Introduction To Integrating QGIS/GIS And R For Spatial Analysis

2020-02-26 Thread Colin D. MacLeod 
This is the second call for a brand new training course from GIS In Ecology. 
It's called 'An Introduction To Integrating QGIS.GIS and R For Spatial 
Analysis' and will be held in Glasgow, Scotland, between the 7th and 9th of 
April 2020. This course is aimed at those who wish to learn how to use and 
integrate QGIS (the leading freely available GIS software package) and R (the 
leading freely available data analysis software package) for spatial analysis. 
It will be taught by Dr. Colin D. MacLeod, the author of ‘An Introduction To 
Integrating QGIS And R for Spatial Analysis’ (Pictish Beast Publications) and a 
renowned expert in using GIS in biological and ecological research. He is also 
a co-author of the upcoming ‘An Introduction To Basic Statistics For Biologists 
Using R’, which is a practical guide to carrying out the analysis of biological 
data in R.  The course assumes no prior knowledge of either QGIS/GIS or R, and 
so is open to complete beginners as well as those how know how to use one of 
these software packages, and wish to learn how to integrate it with the other.

Attendance will be limited to a maximum of 16 people. The course for this three 
day course will cost GBP 395 per person (with a discounted rate of GBP 300 for 
students, the unwaged and those working for registered charities). To book a 
place, or for more information, visit 
http://gisinecology.com/an-introduction-to-integrating-qgis-gis-and-r-for-spatial-analysis/
 or email i...@gisinecology.com.

GIS and statistical analysis are two of the most fundamental software tools for 
modern biologists wishing to conduct spatial analyses. However, each have their 
own sets of software packages, and sometimes it can be difficult to know how to 
integrate the two. This course will provide an introduction to the integration 
of QGIS (the leading freely available GIS software package) and R (the leading 
data analysis software packages used by biologists) to create a combined tool 
set that makes the most of the strengths of each of these individual software 
packages. It will consist of a series of background sessions on using GIS and R 
for spatial analysis, mixed in with practical sessions where you will learn how 
to use QGIS, how to use R, and how to integrate two to complete a spatial 
analysis project. This last part will include working through an example 
project, starting with creating a high quality map for publication through 
creating raster data layers of environmental variables, joining data together 
based on their spatial relationships and analysing the combined data set using 
R (including creating summary statistics, conducting linear regressions and 
conducting generalised additive modelling - GAMs). While it will primarily be 
based around QGIS, this course is taught using software-independent approach, 
and it is also open to those who wish to learn how to use ArcGIS to do 
biological GIS.

When you attend this course you will receive a free copy of An Introduction To 
Integrating QGIS And R for Spatial Analysis (GIS For Biologists Workbooks) as 
the practical exercises in that course are based on the ones contained in that 
book. NOTE: If you wish to use ArcGIS software for this course, alternative 
materials will be provided for the practical sessions.
