This document discusses using R for spatial data analysis. It begins by outlining the key topics that will be covered, including why R is used for spatial analysis and its relationship to GIS. It then provides background on R, describing it as a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. The document also defines spatial data and the common types. It notes that R has thousands of packages that add functionality and discusses challenges of storing and displaying spatial data. Finally, it provides an overview of the book's structure, which first presents shared R packages for spatial data and then showcases more specialized spatial analysis techniques.

Editor's Notes
- Does the spatial patterning of disease incidences give rise to the conclusion that they are clustered, and if so, are the clusters found related to factors such as age, relative poverty, or pollution sources? Given a number of observed soil samples, which part of a study area is polluted? Given scattered air quality measurements, how many people are exposed to high levels of black smoke or particulate matter (e.g. PM10),1 and where do they live? Do governments tend to compare their policies with those of their neigh- bours, or do they behave independently?

- R was created by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman[9] at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, and is currently developed by the R Development Core Team, of which Chambers is a member. R is named partly after the first names of the first two R authors and partly as a play on the name of S. “R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. It compiles and runs on a wide variety of UNIX platforms, Windows and MacOS. To download R, please choose your preferred CRAN mirror.” R implements the language S, an object-oriented language designed for data analysis. R is used mostly in academia, S-Plus more in corporate businesses I everything in R is an object R uses a data base where it stores its objects; this is empty or loaded on start-up, and (possibly) saved on exit during run-time, R does everything in memory, unless you load or save data from/to disk or connection.

- Data analysis is inherently an interactive process — what you see at one stage determines what you want to do next. Interactivity is important. Language is important. The two together — an interactive language — is even more than their sum. R has a fantastic mechanism for creating data structures. Obviously if you are doing data analysis, you want to be able to put your data into a natural form. You don’t have to warp your data into a particular structure because that is all that is available. Graphics should be central to data analysis. Humans are predominantly visual, we don’t intuitively grasp numbers like we do pictures. It is easy to produce graphs for exploring data. The default graphs can be tweaked to get publication-quality graphs. Functions, like mean and median, are objects that you can use like data. You can easily change your analysis to use the median (or some strange estimate you make up on the spot) rather than the mean
- Real data have missing values. Missing values are an integral part of the R language. Many functions have arguments that control how missing values are to be handled.
- Spatial data, also known as geospatial data, is information about a physical object that can be represented by numerical values in a geographic coordinate system. Generally speaking, spatial data represents the location, size and shape of an object on planet Earth such as a building, lake, mountain or township. Spatial data may also include attributes that provide more information about the entity that is being represented. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) or other specialized software applications can be used to access, visualize, manipulate and analyze geospatial data.
- Point, a single point location, such as a GPS reading or a geocoded address Line, a set of ordered points, connected by straight line segments Polygon, an area, marked by one or more enclosing lines, possibly containing holesGrid, a collection of points or rectangular cells, organised in a regular lattice The first three are vector data models and represent entities as exactly as possible, while the final data model is a raster data model, representing continuous surfaces by using a regular tessellation
- Kept in memory Update online Displayed on maps Other property: coastline, river, admistrative bounderies, etc on-screen graphics and has many graph- ics drivers, for example for vector graphics output to PostScript, Windows metafiles, PDF, and many bitmapped graphics formats
