Sandwich: Spatial interpolation based on spatial stratified heterogeneity

Lifecycle: stable

Sandwich is an R package for spatial interpolation based on the
spatial stratified heterogeneity (SSH)
theory, which:

  • Interpolate the sampling attribute over the reporting units that
    does not rely on spatial autocorrelation;
  • Assess the interpolation uncertainties through standard errors and
    confidence intervals;
  • Evaluate the overall accuracy using a diagnostic statistic called
    the k-fold cross validation estimate.

You can find more details about the method
here.

Getting setup with R

Using the Sandwich package requires a recent version of R to be
installed on your computer. The easiest way is to install it through
CRAN , which stands for the Comprehensive
R Archive Network.

Once R is installed, you can proceed to install the RStudio Integrated
Development Environment (IDE) to have a much improved environment to
work with R. Here is
detailed description of RStudio. It is free to download on
https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/#download.

Installing the package

Now you have the base R and a nice IDE installed on your computer, you
can navigate to the console window (in RStudio, the bottom left panel)
and install the Sandwich package from source code by executing the
following lines of code:

install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github("linyuehzzz/sandwich_spatial_interpolator", subdir="r/Sandwich")

Tutorial

Once you install the package, we strongly recommend you going through a
tutorial of this package to explore it in different scenarios of use.
You can find it using the argument:

browseVignettes("Sandwich")

A manual of the Sandwich package can be found
here,
which introduces all the available functions in this package.
