Dear list, I would like to evaluate spatial dependence for about 10000 spatial data points. However, the variable associated with those points is not continuous as in the data "meuse" but is a land cover type (e.g. WATER). What should I consider as variable Z in the variogram() function with gstat? is it right to take the ID of each point as in the code below? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Z <- data.frame[ which(data.frame$landcover=='WATER'),]$ID X <- frame$X Y <- frame$Y mydata1 <- data.frame(Z, X, Y); coordinates(mydata1) <- c("X", "Y"); vario01 <- variogram(Z~1, mydata1, cutoff=50000, alpha=c(0,45,90,135)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any advice would be very appreciated. Thank you for your time, Julien Beguin ------------------ Ph.D. student Laval University Québec, Canada _______________________________________________ R-sig-Geo mailing list R-sig-Geo@stat.math.ethz.ch https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-geo
