[R-sig-Geo] Functions for spatio-temporal/space-time analysis?

2007-09-12 Thread zhijie zhang
Dear friends, I'm conducting some spatio-temporal/space-time analysis for point pattern data, and the following functions maybe used to do it. Anybody knows some other functions/methods for spatio-temporal/space-time analysis in R? stkhat (splancs) Space-time K-functions stmctest (splancs)

See the help for the interp() function in the akima package. It has some examples that should be reasonably easy to follow. -Don At 2:48 PM +0200 9/12/07, Andre Jung wrote: >Hello, > >I'm dealing with the following problem: > >I have a table with x and y coordinates and corresponding values of a

Edzer and List, Success! Thanks so much to Edzer and all who took the time to write. I adjusted the x coordinates by a small amount such that no two x coordinates were exactly the same, then recalculated the covariance matrix and the negative eigenvalues disappeared. However several case

Edzer, Thanks again, sorry if I misread you. Thanks also to James Holland Jones and Christopher Paciorek who responded with helpful comments. I will read over all of these and give it another try. Keith -Original Message- From: Edzer J. Pebesma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wedn

[R-sig-Geo] plot contour map for irregular data points

Hello, I'm dealing with the following problem: I have a table with x and y coordinates and corresponding values of a mineral concentration, let's call it z. Can someone provide me a short step-by-step manual for the steps necessary to get a contour map? How to sort and interpolate my matrix t

Keith, read my suggestion good; I didn't suggest replacing all zeroes in the distance matrix! You either rearrange points and recompute distances, or modify off-diagonal zero-distance entries in the covariance matrix. Sounds like you modified the zero entries on the diagonal as well. -- Edzer
