Geographic Data Science with R Visualizing and Analyzing Environmental Change

Geographic Data Science with R Visualizing and Analyzing Environmental Change

The burgeoning field of data science has provided a wealth of techniques for analysing large and complex geospatial datasets including descriptive explanatory and predictive analytics. However applying these methods is just one part of the overall process of geographic data science. Other critical steps include screening for suspect data values handling missing data harmonizing data from multiple sources summarizing the data and visualizing data and analysis results. Although there are many books available on statistical and machine learning methods few encompass the broader topic of scientific workflows for geospatial data processing and analysis. The purpose of Geographic Data Science with R is to fill this gap by providing a series of tutorials aimed at teaching good practices for using geospatial data to address problems in environmental geography. It is based on the R language and environment which currently provides the best option for working with diverse spatial and non-spatial data in a single platform. Fundamental techniques for processing and visualizing tabular vector and raster data are introduced through a series of practical examples followed by case studies that combine multiple types of data to address more complex problems. The book will have a broad audience. Both students and professionals can use it as a workbook to learn high-level techniques for geospatial data processing and analysis with R. It is also suitable as a textbook. Although not intended to provide a comprehensive introduction to R it is designed to be accessible to readers who have at least some knowledge of coding but little to no experience with R. Key Features: Focus on developing practical workflows for processing and integrating multiple sources of geospatial data in R Example-based approach that teaches R programming and data science concepts through real-world applications related to climate land cover and land use and natural hazards. Consistent use of tidyverse packages for tabular data manipulation and visualization. Strong focus on analysing continuous and categorical raster datasets using the new terra package Organized so that each chapter builds on the topics and techniques covered in the preceding chapters Can be used for self-study or as the textbook for a geospatial science course. | Geographic Data Science with R Visualizing and Analyzing Environmental Change

Telling Stories with Data With Applications in R

Telling Stories with Data With Applications in R

The book equips students with the end-to-end skills needed to do data science. That means gathering cleaning preparing and sharing data then using statistical models to analyse data writing about the results of those models drawing conclusions from them and finally using the cloud to put a model into production all done in a reproducible way. At the moment there are a lot of books that teach data science but most of them assume that you already have the data. This book fills that gap by detailing how to go about gathering datasets cleaning and preparing them before analysing them. There are also a lot of books that teach statistical modelling but few of them teach how to communicate the results of the models and how they help us learn about the world. Very few data science textbooks cover ethics and most of those that do have a token ethics chapter. Finally reproducibility is not often emphasised in data science books. This book is based around a straight-forward workflow conducted in an ethical and reproducible way: gather data prepare data analyse data and communicate those findings. This book will achieve the goals by working through extensive case studies in terms of gathering and preparing data and integrating ethics throughout. It is specifically designed around teaching how to write about the data and models so aspects such as writing are explicitly covered. And finally the use of GitHub and the open-source statistical language R are built in throughout the book. Key Features: Extensive code examples. Ethics integrated throughout. Reproducibility integrated throughout. Focus on data gathering messy data and cleaning data. Extensive formative assessment throughout. | Telling Stories with Data With Applications in R
