About the Book

This book provides practical instruction on the use of the R programming language to analyze spatial data arising from research in ecology and agriculture. The book is written terms of the analysis of four data sets, two from ecology and two from agriculture. These data sets are available online. It guides readers through the analysis of each of these data sets, including setting the research objective, designing the sampling plan, data quality control, exploratory and confirmatory data analysis, and drawing scientific conclusions. All of the R code described in the book is made available online.

Review :
Professor Plant presents an excellent treatise on applied (computational) spatial problems using R, and I personally thank him for this painstaking enterprise. … Despite the availability of several nice text-books on spatial statistics covering a wide variety of topics, there was a dearth of such books mainly catered toward ecologists and agricultural scientists interested in applied exploration of spatially referenced data. Professor Plant fills this void! …Written in a lucid language, the author did a fabulous job in properly sequencing the concept development. … I can certainly say with confidence that this book is expected to enjoy a long shelf life. If you want to get your hands dirty with some applied spatial data analysis, I highly recommend buying it. —Dipankar Bandyopadhyay, Journal of Agricultural, Biological, and Environmental Statistics, October 2012
