[R] ESRI shape file import and time-space models

[Ekkehardt . Altpeter]

Dear R user, I am running R under Windows 2000.   I am looking for a routine for importing   -        shape files (ESRI) into R -        dbase files (FOXPRO) into R   and I am looking for time-space models for description and prediction of Bernoulli-, Binomial- and Poissonvaraibles.   Thank's a lot for a reply.   Sincerely yours, Ekkehardt Altpeter Swiss Federal Office of Public Health.
