R Video Tutorial for Spatial Statistics

Welcome everybody, this is a video tutorial that will try to teach you how to
use R for spatial statistics and interpolation.
I’m
a PhD student in soil science and in particular my project is about digital
soil mapping. During my work I often use R particularly for geostatstical interpolation.
Despite R being a very powerful statistical language which has became a
benchmark for spatial statistics, it is also a relatively difficult language to
learn with one of the steepest learning curve among programming languages.
For
this reason I though about sharing what I’ve learned during my PhD with all the
R community. I prepared this video tutorial because I think that the easy way
of learning R is by examples.
The
tutorial is structured as follow: the first two lesson are about the basics of
R, how to handle R objects, plotting and saving your work. This part is
intended for a beginner user who want to learn the language. Starting from the
third lesson I will show examples on how to handle and plotting spatial data
and rasters, and in the last two lesson I will show you how to perform an
ordinary and a universal kriging in R.
In
this tutorial I will show you some example that will hopefully help you
learning R in a quicker and easier way. However, this course is not a complete
R course, because R has lots and lots of different functions for every branch
of science. For this reason at the beginning of the course and at the end of
the lesson, if appropriate, I will give you some references if you want to
deepen your knowledge.

any suggestion at all on how to improve the course or any other feedback, send
