Roger Bivand – Applied Spatial Data Analysis with R – retrospect and prospect
A month ago we finished Why R? 2020 conference. We had an pleasure to host Roger Bivand, a professor at Norwegian School of Economics and Member of R Foundation. This post contains a biography of the speaker and an abstract of his talk: Applied Spatial Data Analysis with R – retrospect and prospect. When we began over 20 years ago, spatial data was usually found in proprietary software, usually geographical information systems, and most positional data was very hard to acquire. Statistics for spatial data existed, but largely without convenient access to positional data.
