uci 0.3.0
CRAN release: 2023-09-23
- Major changes
-
uci()
now accepts columns withNA
values. In such cases,NA
s are replaced with zero as they represent zero activities. - improved documentation
- The package now uses Queen contiguity (
spdep::poly2nb(geo, queen=TRUE)
) to determine neighboring polygons whe considering spatial link distances. - Update vignette
-
uci 0.2.0
CRAN release: 2023-06-14
-
Major changes
- The
uci
function now has a new parameterdist_type
that allows users to choose whether calculations should be based on"euclidean"
distances (Default) or"spatial_link"
distances. Spatial link distances consider Euclidean distances along the links of spatial neighbour links. In the case of areas with a concave shape (like a bay), it is strongly recommended to use"spatial_link"
distances (even though they are computationally more costly) because simple Euclidean distances can bias UCI estimates in those cases. - The
uci
function now has a new parameterparallel
that speeds up calculations for large areas comprised with many polygons.
