geomerge
is a framework for geospatial data integration that merges raster, spatial polygon, and (dynamic) spatial points data into a spatial (panel) data frame at any geographical resolution.
The geomerge
function conducts a series of spatial joins for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data. It integrates three of R's most commonly used GIS data classes - polygons, points and rasters. With flexible options for assignment rules and including the calculation of spatial and temporal lags, geomerge
returns a time series SpatialPolygonsDataFrame
that users may import into any predictive statistical analysis.
The spatial resolution of the input datasets and scope of the area covered by the integration routine will influence the runtime of geomerge
. Depending on the inputs, integration may therefore require some time.
