[su_tab title = “Description”]

In this online course you will be provided with a very flexible environment for statistical analysis, including a number of facilities to manipulate, visualise and analyse spatial information. Here, the emphasis is on visualising spatial data. A key advantage of mapping in R is that it is very easy to integrate the results of data analysis with the map creation process.

Pre-requisites:

Those who have a need to incorporate data with a spatial location into the R environment, appraise the use of packages in R to visualize such data (as opposed to use of a GIS) and to produce publication quality maps of these data, including mashing them onto public domain products such as Google Maps.
