Conclusion Bibliography IndexReviews"Praise for the first edition ""Geocomputation with R offers several advantages. Firstly, it uses up-to-date packages, mainly the 'sf' package for vector processing which was not available at the time the previous books were written. 'sf’' is truly a game-changer in the field of working with spatial data in R. I believe this alone makes writing the new book worthwhile. Secondly, the book offers a very broad overview, trying—and in my opinion succeeding—to encompass all non-statistical themes involved in geo-computation, including subjects such as location and transport modeling in R (chapters 7-8) which were never published before. Thirdly, the book offers a lot of illustrations and clearly demonstrates key concepts in GIS and geo-computation from the R point of view. I believe these characteristics will give the book an advantage and quite possibly make it the most popular choice in the category of spatial analysis in R for several years to come…The book can be used both as reference and as a textbook…The present book will definitely become the main textbook for this course once published."" ~Michael Dorman, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev" Author InformationThe authors are well-established geospatial researchers and teachers.
