R help - Dec 2000 - GIS and Spatial stats

[this went to me instead of the list;   MM, your list maintainer]

I am digging in the wrong hole I guess. Where can I find R /S routines for
spatial statistics? Also has anyone made an R link to a GIS package? Anyone
out there who works in this area?

Thanks

There are the packages splancs and sgeostat available at CRAN which may help
you.
Concerning your second question: Have a look at the mailing-list archive at
http://www.ens.gu.edu.au/robertk/R/. There was a similar question a few month
ago
(I think it was about October)

You may have a look at

http://reclus.nhh.no/gc00/gc009.htm

The GIS software 'GRASS'
(http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/index2.html) works fine with
database system 'PostgreSQL' (http://www.postgresql.org) and 'R'
(http://www.R-project.org).

For linking between GRASS and PostgreSQL see
http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/projects/postgresqlgrass and
between GRASS and R see ftp://reclus.nhh.no/pub/R .

Hope this will help you,

Rainer
