I have no experience with GIS whatsoever. I really know squat about it. I'm currently working on a project to plot locality data for wildlife on a map of Shasta County. This is for a new herpetological club that hopes to track strength of our local herp populations, since it seems evident that in the last 20 years we lost one species of frog and are close to losing another (probably less

Does anyone know of a package to make a map from GIS data, and/or would it be easier in one of the free GIS programs. I would like to make a map of the savannah river area with our sampling locations. thanks stephen -- Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and make us feel like gods.

Hi Gurus! I have a job that is to get randomly samples from point-based GIS data (sp called shape GIS files) under the total sum resctricted. For example, I would like to take random smaples under the 1000 persons in each city. The randomly sampled persons should not be over 1000 any case.

Hello I have been working with Diva-GIS lately in Windows and I love it. At home I have a Mac so I decided to Install it using the Winebottler. Today I run my antivirus (ClamXav) and It detects a Infection on de DIVA-GIS app "/Applications/DIVA-GIS.app/Contents/Resources/drive_c/windows/system32/drivers/mountmgr.sys:" Does anybody know something about this? This mean that the

Dear All, Has anyone worked with linking R to both ArcView and MapInfo GIS systems? My desire is to capture object selection from GIS and pass to R and to return spatially based statistical model results from R to GIS. If both could simultaneously access the same data file this would be a bonus. My inclination is to put together some routines based on ODBC linking but thought I would seek like

Dear R Community- I am a new user of R. I am using R with GRASS GIS. I would apply svm "on" raster data in GRASS. Basically I have a raster with "areas training" and other three raster (each represents a band of ASTER satellite image). My goal is to classify, according to training areas, the 3 raster. Trying to replicate the guides found on the net, I did the following: #

Dear R list, I'm trying to create an object of class "owin" (observation window) in the package spatstat from GIS mapping data. Here's an example of my problem. Everything goes well until the last line of code. I get the error message shown at the bottom: library(spatstat) library(sp) library(maptools) con <- url("http://gadm.org/data/rda/CHE_adm1.RData") class(con)

[this went to me instead of the list; MM, your list maintainer] I am digging in the wrong hole I guess. Where can I find R /S routines for spatial statistics? Also has anyone made an R link to a GIS package? Anyone out there who works in this area? Thanks Richard E.

In Germany the Unemployment Agency uses a sectioning of the german map that is different from the usual Administrative Boundaries. Some demographic data are available in Administrative Boundaries only, some in Unemployment Boundaries only. I would like to generate estimates in one boundary system of data availabe in the other boundary system, and would appreciate advice concerning the following

I have a geodatabase and would like to import it into GRASS, but it is in .mbf. I use mac and linux, and don't have access to access on the machines that I normally use. I do have access to access at school, but I would like to find a way around this if possible. Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions would be welcome. thanks, -- Stephen Sefick Let's not spend our time and resources

I have a simple problem: I need to load a ERSI shapefile of US states and check whether or not a set of points are within the boundary of these states. I have the shapefile, I have the coordinates but I'm having a great deal of difficulty bringing the two together. The problem is the various GIS packages for R do not play well with each other. sp, shapefiles, maptools, etc all use different

Hey everyone, Is there Rails support for something like Google Maps, but using my own images/maps? Basically, I''d like to have my own maps/images, be able to drop markers on them, center on certain attributes etc. - Nic

Dear R-community, After repeating the sqlSave-command 3 times on a dataframe (of size 13149 rows * 5 columns) to my MS-Access database I get the following error: *Error in sqlSave(channel, eksport_transp_acc_2, "transp_acc_scenarier", : unable to append to table ‘transp_acc_scenarier’* ** This means that the first 2 savings are completed, but the third-one is somehow not.

Hi- I am trying to find a way to diffuse GIS data on a European map. I have a dataset consisting of particular locations scattered across Europe, along with magnitude and value information. I can plot these as discrete points with something like the following: "geocode" is a dataframe with four columns: LAT; LONG; MAGNITUDE;VALUE. library(maps) library(mapdata)

I am working on creating an R package for doing fire department analysis and am trying to create a function that can display emergency incident densities. The following code sort of does the trick, but I need a display that shows the number of incidents per square mile. I believe the code below shows incidents per square unit (in this case, degrees lat/long). To solve this problem, I believe

Hi, If I used drop1 in a weighted lm fit, it seems to ignore the weights in the AIC calculation of the dropped terms, see the example below. Can this be right?

Hi, I'm using the "ncdf" library for creating ncdf files. But I need to create about 100 variables per file (e.g. single rivers), So I do not like to create each variable separately. Unfortunately I found no way to make this work, as I'm unable to create a correct list of class "var.ncdf". ###code piece river=list(mode='var.ncdf', length=nriv)
