[R-pkgs] spqdep: An R package to test for spatial dependence in categorical spatial data

[Fernando A López Hernández]

Dear R users,

I am happy to announce that a new package “spqdep” is now available on CRAN.
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/spqdep/index.html <https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/spqdep/index.html>

The objective of this R-package is to test for spatial dependence in categorical spatial data. 
https://f8l5h9.github.io/spqdep/articles/spq_userguide.html <https://f8l5h9.github.io/spqdep/articles/spq_userguide.html>

Several tests have been implemented in spqdep, namely, the classical joint count statistics, the Q-test based on symbolic dynamics, the Scan-test based on scan methodology and a new spatial test based on spatial-runs. All tests can be applied to categorical spatial cross-section data with two or more categories and asymptotic and bootstrap permutation distribution are implemented. The R package is completely documented, including several examples and an user-guide is available as a vignette.

Best regards,
Fernando López
