About

Maintained by Michael MahoneyFirst published 2022-08-1012 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Assessing predictive models of spatial data can be challenging, both because these models are typically built for extrapolating outside the original region represented by training data and due to potential spatially structured errors, with "hot spots" of higher than expected error clustered geographically due to spatial structure in the underlying data. Methods are provided for assessing models fit to spatial data, including approaches for measuring the spatial structure of model errors, assessing model predictions at multiple spatial scales, and evaluating where predictions can be made safely. Methods are particularly useful for models fit using the 'tidymodels' framework. Methods include Moran's I ('Moran' (1950) doi:10.2307/2332142), Geary's C ('Geary' (1954) doi:10.2307/2986645), Getis-Ord's G ('Ord' and 'Getis' (1995) doi:10.1111/j.1538-4632.1995.tb00912.x), agreement coefficients from 'Ji' and Gallo (2006) (<doi: 10.14358/PERS.72.7.823>), agreement metrics from 'Willmott' (1981) (<doi: 10.1080/02723646.1981.10642213>) and 'Willmott' 'et' 'al'. (2012) (<doi: 10.1002/joc.2419>), an implementation of the area of applicability methodology from 'Meyer' and 'Pebesma' (2021) (doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13650), and an implementation of multi-scale assessment as described in 'Riemann' 'et' 'al'. (2010) (doi:10.1016/j.rse.2010.05.010).

Install

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

install.packages("waywiser", 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("ropensci/waywiser")

Development version from ropensci/waywiser. 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-waywiser

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

# 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-waywiser

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