About

Maintained by Edwin de JongeCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Privacy protected raster maps can be created from spatial point data. Protection methods include smoothing of dichotomous variables by de Jonge and de Wolf (2016) doi:10.1007/978-3-319-45381-1_9, continuous variables by de Wolf and de Jonge (2018) doi:10.1007/978-3-319-99771-1_23, suppressing revealing values and a generalization of the quad tree method by Suñé, Rovira, Ibáñez and Farré (2017) doi:10.2901/EUROSTAT.C2017.001.

Changes in 0.6.1

Fixed max_zoom level specification issue #12 for protect_quadtree.

max_zoom = 2 resulted earlier in max_zoom = 1. Thanks to Martin Moehler (@mamoeh).

Added earlier stopping criterion for protect_quadtree. Thanks to Martin Moehler (@mamoeh).
fixed a bug in protect_quadtree that caused an invalid sensitive count (scale), issue #14. Thanks to Martin Mohler (@mamoeh).
fixed a bug in protect_quadtree that was caused sometimes by raster::cover in which the names of the layers were dropped. Thanks to Michael Buchner
fixed documentation links (to raster)

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("sdcSpatial", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("edwindj/sdcSpatial")

Development version from edwindj/sdcSpatial. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-sdcspatial

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-sdcSpatial

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-sdcSpatial

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
