Spatial Data Analysis in Ecology and Agriculture Using R

Assuming no prior knowledge of R, Spatial Data Analysis in Ecology and Agriculture Using R provides practical instruction on the use of the R programming language to analyze spatial data arising from research in ecology and agriculture. Written in terms of four data sets easily accessible online, this book guides the reader through the analysis of each data set, including setting research objectives, designing the sampling plan, data quality control, exploratory and confirmatory data analysis, and drawing scientific conclusions.

Based on the author’s spatial data analysis course at the University of California, Davis, the book is intended for classroom use or self-study by graduate students and researchers in ecology, geography, and agricultural science with an interest in the analysis of spatial data.

假設讀者對 R 語言沒有先備知識，《使用 R 進行生態學和農業的空間數據分析》提供了實用指導，教授如何使用 R 程式語言分析生態學和農業研究中產生的空間數據。本書以四個可在線輕鬆獲取的數據集為基礎，引導讀者進行每個數據集的分析，包括設定研究目標、設計抽樣計劃、數據質量控制、探索性和驗證性數據分析，以及得出科學結論。

本書基於作者在加州大學戴維斯分校的空間數據分析課程，適用於生態學、地理學和農業科學領域的研究生和研究人員，他們對空間數據分析感興趣，可用於課堂教學或自學。
