Overview

About

Maintained by Matt AshbyFirst published 2022-02-147 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Identify and understand clusters of points (typically representing the locations of places or events) stored in simple-features (SF) objects. This is useful for analysing, for example, hot-spots of crime events. The package emphasises producing results from point SF data in a single step using reasonable default values for all other arguments, to aid rapid data analysis by users who are starting out. Functions available include kernel density estimation (for details, see Yip (2020) doi:10.22224/gistbok/2020.1.12), analysis of spatial association (Getis and Ord (1992) doi:10.1111/j.1538-4632.1992.tb00261.x) and hot-spot classification (Chainey (2020) ISBN:158948584X).

pak::pak("mpjashby/sfhotspot")

Development version from mpjashby/sfhotspot. 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-sfhotspot

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

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-sfhotspot

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-sfhotspot

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
