Deemed colleagues I would appreciate your help with a sentence to calculate the linear distance between 2 geographical points (coordinates in UTM).

...t latitude and longitude are coordinates on a flat surface would introduce a -possibly large- bias in the empirical variogram estimate. My questions are the following: a) Does geoR and gstat assume that points are on a flat surface? b) If I first calculate the distances among points using the Haversine formula, it is possible to calculate the variogram with a matrix of distances among points (where n is the number of observations) and a vector of observation values? Any help would be appreciated. Julian Julian M. Burgos Fisheries Acoustics Research Lab School of Aquatic and Fishery Science...

Hi all, I would like to know a way of calculating the distance between 2 points when I already have the longitude and latitude of the points. For example : Point 1 : 52? 9'54.00"N 4?25'8.40"E Point 2 : 52?27'46.80"N 4?33'18.00"E Distance between point 1 and point in km .... Is there any functions already available for this ? Any help will be much

I have spatial data on a sphere (the Earth) for which I would like to run an gls model assuming that the errors are autcorrelated, i.e. including a corSpatial correlation in the model specification. In this case the distance metric should be calculated on the sphere, therefore metric = "euclidean" in (for example) corSpher would be incorrect. I would be grateful for help on how to

Hello, I've been searching for a method of converting Lat/Lon decimal coordinates into actual distances between points, and taking into account the curvature of the earth. Is there such a package in R? I've looked at the GeoR package, but this does not seem to contain what I am looking for. Ideally the output would be a triangular matrix of distances. Thanks in advance, Paul Brewin

Hello, I am author of a Morse code training software written in Perl at http://starling.ws/morse Currently I output to *.wav and, if on Unix, convert to *.ogg. And that's okay for a trainer. But I have desire to upgrade the project to a real-time communication tool...or at least a Morse code audio mail routine. And I should like to avoid *.wav. I'd like some means of writing a pure

Hi all, I've been struggling learning R and need to turn to the list again. I've got a dataset (comma-delimited file) with the following fields: recid, latitude, longitude, population, dwelling and age. For each observation, I'd like to calculate the total number of people and dwellings and average age within 2 k.m. Distance could be Euclidean, however, a proper distance
