My ggplot2 blending adventure | Reproducible Ruins For my sins, I've gone all in on {ggplot2} as my static mapping library within R. Some years ago, I chose a serviceable path for my mapping needs, and then clun...

Anyone know where I might purchase a Win 11 incompatible PC in the UK? Hoping to pick up a bargain now there’s presumably a glut of unwanted machines… #linux #Tech #windows

A map showing a response variable with various points used for sampling for a series of models.

hivemind style question about spatial model sampling strategy: when modelling a highly spatially autocorrelated response such as the one shown here, I found the only way to produce models with correctable spatial autocorrelation (using eigenvectors) in the […]
