Analysis of Spatial Stratified Heterogeneity

Overview

gdverse consolidates cutting-edge SSH methodologies into a unified toolkit, redefining spatial association measurement as the evolutionary successor to geodetector and GD in the R ecosystem.

Current models and functions provided by gdverse are:

| Model | Function | Support | |----|----|----| | GD | gd() | ✔️ | | OPGD | opgd() | ✔️ | | GOZH | gozh() | ✔️ | | LESH | lesh() | ✔️ | | SPADE | spade() | ✔️ | | IDSA | idsa() | ✔️ | | RGD | rgd() | ✔️ | | RID | rid() | ✔️ | | SRSGD | srsgd() | ✔️ |

Installation

• Install from CRAN with:

install.packages("gdverse", dep = TRUE)

• Install development binary version from R-universe with:

install.packages('gdverse',
                 repos = c("https://stscl.r-universe.dev",
                           "https://cloud.r-project.org"),
                 dep = TRUE)

• Install development source version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("stscl/gdverse",
                         build_vignettes = TRUE,
                         dep = TRUE)

✨ Please ensure that Rcpp is properly installed and the appropriate C++ compilation environment is configured in advance if you want to install gdverse from github.

✨ The gdverse package supports the use of robust discretization for the robust geographical detector and robust interaction detector. For details on using them, please refer to https://stscl.github.io/gdverse/articles/rgdrid.html.
