GeoDensityR

GeoDensityR is an R package for generating density rasters from polygon shapefiles and tabular census or survey data.

The package: - joins polygon and tabular datasets - calculates density values - rasterizes polygon densities - exports ASCII or GeoTIFF rasters

Useful for: - epidemiology - ecology - livestock distribution - population density - spatial analysis - disease modeling

Installation

devtools::install_github("sahalpaladan/GeoDensityR")

Usage

library(GeoDensityR)

generate_density_raster(
  
  csv_file = "Livestock_census_GJ_RJ.csv",
  
  shp_file = "GJ_RJ_District_Shape_File.shp",
  
  join_shp = "District",
  
  join_csv = "District",
  
  value_col = "Cattle",
  
  resolution = 0.1,
  
  output = "density.asc"
  
)

Note

Inside Livestock_census_GJ_RJ.csv file have demo values only. ## Online Shiny App
