anybody get r to work in ARCGis 9.1? I am curious to see if the dll and hook
are the same as was done before in 8.1.
Thanks

Hi list(s),

I'm looking for (free) geostatistical software that works with images 
and not as much on point data.

I've been playing around with multiresolution wavelet decompositions and 
I want to collect some statistical information of these images 
(semivariance analysis, autocorrelation, Moran's I index, etc etc...). 
For the time being I used R, the wavethresh package and the spdep 
package. This latter was not optimal because the neighbour list 
constructed by spdep becomes a little to much for my limited computer 
system. So an additional R package would be great, but not necessary. 
Other (free) alternatives would be great.

So what  packages toolboxes etc. are not point based, and can handle 
images? Any idea's, suggestions?

Best regards,
Koen

ps. excuses for double posting if you are a member of both lists, I try 
to cover as much ground as possible in one e-mail.

Please state how large the images are, it isn't obvious what for example 
global Moran's I would give you. Could you answer the same questions of 
subscenes? Are the data likely to be non-stationary? How are you reading 
the data into R, how are they represented? Even geostatistics will be hard 
with many observed points, easier with many points to predict to.

You have looked at rimage, I suppose? Could you extend that?

Hi Koen,

R package gstat (or the gstat stand-alone program) has two
optimizations built in for calculating semivariograms,  the first for
large data sets, the second for gridded data:
1. it doesn't store the full pairwise distance matrix, but accumulates
semivariance and number of point pairs,
2. for gridded data, it derives distances from row/column index, instead
of recalculating them for each point, and it only evaluates point pairs
for which we know they need evaluation.

The first makes the calculation of semivariances possible within limited
memory, the second one makes the behaviour of the computation
closer to O(n), instead of O(n*n) for the case where you ignore
grid topology---this makes the computation scalable and feasable
for larger grids.

The documentation may not be all too clear on this, and perhaps
the user interface can be improved: not many people need this;
contact me on the gstat-info list for details where needed.
