Package {MBGapp}

Type:	Package
Title:	Interactive 'shiny' Application for Model-Based Geostatistics
Version:	0.1.0
Description:	Provides an interactive 'shiny' application for teaching and applied analysis of geostatistical data. Users can explore spatial data, assess spatial correlation through the empirical variogram, fit model-based geostatistical models for continuous, prevalence and count outcomes, produce spatial predictions, and download reports. The methodology follows the model-based geostatistics framework of Diggle and Giorgi (2019, ISBN:9781138732353).

MBGapp: Interactive Shiny Application for Model-Based Geostatistics

Description

The MBGapp package provides a Shiny web application for teaching and applied geostatistical analysis. Users can explore spatial data interactively, assess spatial correlation through the empirical variogram, fit model-based geostatistical models for continuous, prevalence and count outcomes, generate spatial predictions, and download reports.

Details

The application is launched with run_app.

The packages listed in the Imports field are required by the bundled Shiny application (in inst/MBGapp) and are loaded by it at runtime; they are intentionally not imported into the package namespace so that the package itself loads quickly and without pulling in optional system dependencies (e.g. Tcl/Tk via geoR) on headless machines.

Launch the MBGapp Shiny application

Description

Runs the interactive Shiny application for model-based geostatistical analysis that is bundled with the package. The application lets the user upload data, explore it, fit geostatistical models and produce predictions and reports.

Usage

run_app()

Value

No return value; called for the side effect of launching the Shiny application.

Examples

if (interactive()) {
  run_app()
}
