Hello R-help, I am a recent convert to R from SAS and I am having some difficulty with output of a for loop into a matrix. I have searched the help manuals and the archives, but I can't get my code to work. It is probably a syntax error that I am not spotting. I am trying to make a distance matrix by extracting the distances from each point to all others in a vector (the for loop). I can

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

Dear all, I had to place points at random, one in each of larger number of polygons (actually in objects of class 'SpatialPolygonsDataFrame' , see sp library), and tried first to do it using spsample (from sp). Surprisingly, every 5-15 trials, the output was a NULL value. The doc says that ' this may occur when trying to hit a small and awkwardly shaped polygon in a large

Dear forum,   I am working in R 2.9.1 and I am trying to sample locations from a network file. Reading in nor plotting is a problem, however when I am trying to sample from the file I get the following message:   nwlim<-readShapeLines("C:/Limburg_nwshape", proj4string=CRS("+init=epsg:31300")) plot(nwlim)   randacc<-spsample(nwlim,n=1000,"random")

When I make a sample in sp, for example a random samping of 5 points in dataset1: sample.dataset1=spsample(dataset1, n = 5, "random") I have a sp object for the selected sampling... My question is : How can I extract from dataset2 the points & data for the coordinates(sample.dataset1) ? The dataset2 would be an object with the same area and coordinate system, but I would like to

Hi, I am new to R and am a very basic user. I'm importing SHP files, adding plots of random locations within my polygon (these files have GPS data), and then want to save these plots (intact with added points) as KML files to look at in GoogleEarth (or possibly as SHP files which I can then convert into KML). This is as far as I've gotten (code below) and am lost as to next steps, Any

We're happy to announce the CRAN release of "sp", an R package which has new-style classes and methods for spatial data, version 0.7-9. Spatial data types that sp implements are: points, grids, lines, and polygons (i.e., rings) optionally with holes. Methods include + the usual print, summary, plot, [, [[, $, ... + coercion between types (e.g. points and grids, matrices,

Hi All, I am a PhD student in forestry science and I am working with LiDAR data set (huge data set). I am a brand-new in R and geostatistic (SORRY, my background it?s in forestry) but I wish improve my skill for improve myself. I wish to develop a methodology to processing a large data-set of points (typical in LiDAR) but there is a problem with memory. I had created a subsample data-base but
