...ay a single thematic map for a city using spplot as follows: spplot(Minneapolis,"Thematic_Data_Column") But, calling the function again for Cleveland just overwrites the window. I am unsure how to use spplot's layout tools with two different geographies. Most examples use a single geography and multiple attribute columns. Alternatively, is there a way to use "par" together with spplot to allow for multiple spplot calls? thank you, -david

...years) and still finding my way...I have been trying to replicate PROC MIXED results in LMER but noticed that the estimates are coming different.

In response to an earlier discussion about finding the fastest/best/nearest CRAN site, I geocoded (using my geonames package) the locations of the CRAN sites returned by getCRANmirrors. I've mapped them here: http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/~rowlings/R/Cranography/ The geocoding may have got it wrong, so if CRAN site maintainers want to send me a real lat-long (in WGS 84 aka EPSG:4326) I'll

A recent article in the earth science literature cited below and available at http://geography.uoregon.edu/datagraphics/EOS/ points out that rainbow color schemes and mixtures of green and yellow can be troublesome for people with color-deficient vision. The authors propose alternative schemes that can be viewed and downloaded in RGB, HSV, CMYK, and RGB256 formats from http://geography.u...

...nce. My question is related to partitioning the variance in rda (vegan) results for multiple groups of variables. I have a high dimensional dataset with 79 explanatory variables and 9 response variables. Within those 79 explanatory variables there are ~8 groups (e.g. water chemistry, land cover, geography, surficial geology, etc). To partition out their unique and binary interactive variance, I run the ~30 conditioned RDAs necessary to determine the "pure effects" of each group and the "pure binary interactions" of those groups with each other. My method for partitioning the v...

Dear all, I got point data of trees. I was wondering if anybody has experience in searching the neighbors within a specified distance efficiently. X Y Z 99 34 65 98 35 29 98 34 28 99 33 33 98 32 23 99 33 21 99 33 22 99 32 24 99 30 23 ... What I want to do is : searching for the neighbors with a distance R for each tree & the neighbor must have a bigger Z.
