While not too far from the initial CRAN release of sfdep, this release represents a some rather sizeable changes to the package.
This can be broken down into three categories:
- spatio-temporal analysis
- measures of colocation
- and bug fixes
Colocation Analysis
This is extremely exciting as this is the first open source implementation of Colocation Quotients that I am aware of.
Spacetime
This is a very big addition to sfdep.
-
spacetime(),new_spacetime(),validate_spacetime():- Creating spacetime objects
-
activate(),active():- changing spacetime context and determining active context
-
as_sf(),as_spacetime():- casting between spacetime and sf objects
-
is_spacetime():- determine if an object is a spacetime object
-
is_spacetime_cube():- determine if a spacetime object is a spatio-temporal full grid aka spacetime cube
-
complete_spacetime_cube():- if a spatio-temporal sparse grid, add rows to make a spatio-temporal full grid (spacetime cube)
-
set_col(),set_nbs(),set_wts():- add columns from geometry contexst to data context
-
emerging_hotspot_analysis():- conduct emerging hotspot analysis
-
spt_update():- update times and locations attributes of a spacetime object
General
include_self()remove_self()- Fixes a bug in
local_g_perm()andlocal_gstar_perm()which would return the G value before being converted into a z-score
