spatialhelpers

spatialhelpers provides a variety of convenience functions for working with spatial data. Presently, these all simplify manipulation of spatial weights objects:

Installation

You can install the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("loganstundal/spatialhelpers")

Convenience functions included here

w_borders - constructs spatial weights using border lengths shared between units
w_data - constructs spatial weights using dyadic data producing a symmetric matrix for absolute flows between units or an asymmetric matrix for relative flows
w_report - reports unit neighbors or neighbor values in a w matrix
w_sim - simulates a spatial weights matrix
w_tidy - uses an R formula to remove elements of a spatial weights matrix corresponding to observations in data with missing values
