Good morning, I am a student whom is currently working on a term project for my GIS Program. I am looking for a software package which can aid me in my project, and I was curious if R would be able to address my goals. My project includes power outage data from a hydro company (point data, with UTM coordinates attached), which is available in an Access database, or in a Shapefile. I would like to be able to take this poweroutage data, and then perform a spatial analysis of this data, perhaps as a hot-spot analysis, or in a points per raster square style analysis. With the completed analysis, I would like to be able to use an open source web mapping platform to display it for the 'company' I am performing this for as part of my project. Any insight you could provide me would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

It sounds quite possible but you'll probably get more specialized help if you ask on the r-sig-geo mailing list.

Also, Googling 'R GIS' brings up a "ton" of hits. Good luck, Dan Daniel Nordlund Bothell, WA USA
