The SSN package provides tools to fit generalized linear models with spatial autocorrelation for stream network data. SSN uses normal likelihood methods (including REML) and quasi-likelihood for Poisson and Binomial families. The spatial formulation was originally described in Ver Hoef, Peterson, and Theobald (2006), with more details given by Ver Hoef and Peterson (2010) and Peterson and Ver Hoef (2010). The spatial data must be formatted in a geographic information system (GIS) prior to importing it into R. A custom ArcGIS toolbox has been provided to format the data: Spatial Tools for the Analysis of River Systems (STARS) toolset (Peterson and Ver Hoef, 2014), and the SSN package is fully described in Ver Hoef, Peterson, Clifford, and Shah (2014).
