A complete geo-tyro demonstrating ignorance here: please be tolerant!
I have a large dataset comprising the results of a questionnaire from UK respondents. I am interested in geographic variation in responses and have built mixed-effect models incorporating County/Unitary Authority/Local Authority (a level of local government in the UK) as a factor-level random effect in lme4. Extracting the intercept of the random effects I can generate a normalised 0-1 score for each local authority. I would like to illustrate the results of this analysis and generate a map showing LAs coloured using this normalised score to set gray scale.
We have campus access to ArcGIS and related programmes but I have no knowledge of these whatsoever and wondered if for this limited task I could work within R? Are there any suitable public domain map objects and how would I go about this?
