Hi All
This should be simple-but ArcGis keeps getting stuck at 22%...I have a large shapefile, which contains multiple overlapping polygons for various species-and I would like to count for any area how many polygons overlap.A script would be really fantastic!Thanks in advance

Hi Christian,
This formatting shows that the data has been read in as a single column with 'V1' as the column name and 'x,y' as the value of row 1, and so on:

> test<-read.table("test.csv")> test
                V11              x,y
2   648501,89104003   641686,8917264
4   645984,89143285   647058,8913794
6   649659,89129257   649613,8912828
.....

You can check how many columns there are in a data frame using 'ncol':

ncol(test)
To troubleshoot, I would first try using read.csv:

test=read.csv(test,as.is=TRUE)ncol(test)

If this does not give you two columns, then I would check that the file really is in standard .csv format.

Leila,

Thanks for your reply. I'm using likelihood cross validation (CVh) instead of least squares cross validation (LSCV). To my knowledge adehabitatHR doesn't run CVh so I think I will need to write a script or find another program which can calculate CVh.


I used GME from spatialecology.com to calculate all of my KDEs, but I don't think GME runs bootstrapping. So I'm trying to run it through the bootstrapping package in R. Here is what I need to do:


1) Create my spatial points layer
=mydata

2) Run the bootstrapping script:

>mydataboot<-boot(mydata, (KDE script), R=1000)

mydata= my spatial points file
(KDE script)= what formula to run the bootstrap on

R=1000 = the number of iterations I would like to run

The issue I'm having is getting the bootstrapping script to run the KDE formula=(KDE script)

Cheers,
Christian

Hi Christian, 

There is a package called adehabitatHR that does kernel density estimation with LSCV bandwidth using a function called kernelUD(). I don't know if this will is similar to what you want? You will need to have the data in UTM and in SpatialPoints or SpatialPointsDataFrame format, which you can do using the sp package. 



There is a great vignette for adehabitatHR that will help with data formatting and running the KDE. I  exported the utilisation distribution for ArcGIS using writeRaster() in the raster package, but you can also export as contours.



Cheers

Leila

Hi Christian,



What sort of data are you trying to import? A series of lat/longs that are in a text (or Excel) file? If so, the rGDAL library can be used to create spatial points:



###############

library(rgdal)

# if you don't already have this installed, you can do: install.packages('rgdal')



# read in the data from a tab-delimited text file that has a header line

rawPoints <- read.table('/data.csv', header=TRUE, sep='\t')



# format as a SpatialPoint class and define the projection/datum (WGS84)

q <- cbind(rawPoints$recordLon, rawPoints$recordLat)

colnames(q) <- c("x", "y")

qqq <- SpatialPoints(q, proj4string=CRS("+init=epsg:4326"))

###############



Note: the above is a copied-and-pasted fragment from a working script of mine. I assume this fragment will work for you.



I can't help you with your second question, and the answer to your third question will depend on the format of the bootstrap data (e.g., more points, polygons, raster).





Hope this helps,



Stewart
