GRASS: Geostatistics and spatial data analysis

GRASS GIS and interfaces to Statistics/Geostatistics Software

Mailing List: GRASS and (geo)statistical software

This mailing list is intended to coordinate ongoing development on interfaces for GRASS to statistical/geostatistical software. Topics to be discussed could be:

• How can "R", "S", ... statistical language packages be linked to GRASS GIS?
• How can I contribute?
• I already programmed a (small/complete) interface! Would you like to test it?
• ... and so on.

• GRASS-gstat interface:
• gstat offers GRASS support. Gstat is a computer program for geostatistical modelling, prediction and simulation.
• GRASP-R:
• GRASP-R offers GRASS support. Generalized Regression Analysis and Spatial Prediction for R. It's a plugin for R and provides a general method for making spatial predictions of variable of interest (VOI) using point surveys of the VOI and spatial coverages of important environmental drivers (IED).
