The "new style" way of doing this, using the classes of package sp, would be reading the shape with readOGR (in package rgdal), and then selecting by nw2 = nw[nw$FTEMA>0, ] -- Edzer Morten Sickel wrote: I am reading in a shape file using read.shape() I would like to select some of the polygo

I am reading in a shape file using read.shape() I would like to select some of the polygons in the shape file, depending on data in the att.data ... but for some (probably simple) reason, it doesn't work. having read the shape file into the object nw, I would believe that nw2=nw[nw$att.data$FTE

Dear Frede I would not say that the methods discussed in the MBG book should be refered as "regression kriging". As far as I understand, the term "regression kriging", despite of all variations, refer to proposals/algorithms for which predictions are obtained combining two stages: 1. get predicti

I completely agree with you that this seems the more coherent statistical modelling approach to these kind of problems. At the time we did the analysis on /Fulmaris glacialis/, which was 2003, the corresponding approach was already offered by package geoRglm (using MCMC; it extends geoR with gl

Dear Jin, I really think that this list of yours is misleading. I agree, your references are correct and there are indeed computational differences, however, one should follow a statistically sound procedure (this includes e.g. GLS estimation of the regression coefficients, use of proper trans

Sorry for dropping in late in this thread, which I have not followed closely. Perhaps Paulo Ribeiro can correct me but thinking of geostatistics in terms of statistical models then I think that the book by Diggle & Ribeiro: http://www.springer.com/geosciences/computer+&+mathematical+applicati
