[R-sig-Geo] Monitoring network design optimization

[Zev Ross]

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone knows of any good R scripts/methods for 
monitoring network design optimization. I'm interested in methods that 
help calculate the "optimum" number of monitors in terms of cost vs 
coverage as well as methods that calculate the optimum geographic 
locations for a given number of monitors and a given underlying demand 
surface (say population at risk).

In ArcInfo (command line) there are p-median and maximum attendance 
algorithms, is there anything similar in R? Any recommendations?

Thank you!

Zev
