Dear R-helpers, I get GPS readings with bug counts (bugs meaning insects in this case) made along rows in crop fields and use these to make maps of bug distribution. The GPS readings are not quite accurate enough for my purpose, so since I know what row each reading is made in, I adjust the latitudinal coordinate using: grd<-lm(lat~lon+Row,data)

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

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
