## Introduction
This repository hosts the code underlying the book *An Introduction to Spatial Data Analysis and Statistics: A Course in R*, by [Antonio Paez](https://www.science.mcmaster.ca/ees/component/comprofiler/userprofile/paezha.html):
> Paez A (2021). An Introduction to Spatial Data Analysis and Statistics: A Course in R. McMaster Invisible Press. ISBN: 978-1-7778515-0-7
The book is free to read online at https://paezha.github.io/spatial-analysis-r.
## Resources for Students and Instructors
### Presentation slides
I have created a set of presentation slides in mentimeter for each substantive chapter in the book. I use these as mini-lectures in a [flipped classroom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flipped_classroom) format in my course, but they can be used as a template for creating longer presentations or lectures.

### Template repository for projects
I created a [template repository](https://github.com/paezha/ES4GA3-Sample-Repository) to help students get started with the use of GitHub and R Markdown for collaborative work on term projects. In my own course adoption of this workflow is completely optional. Not every student/group has the inclination/time to adopt this approach, but those who do produce very professional-looking reports and learn valuable skills.
### Examples of projects
These are examples of projects completed in this course:
- [Examining the Relationships Between Socioeconomic Variables and Particulate Air Pollution in the Toronto Metropolitan Area](https://github.com/paezha/Air-Pollution-Correlates-4GA3)
- [Evaluating Effects of Population Demographics on Access to Sexual Health Care: A Toronto Case Study](https://github.com/paezha/Sexual-Health-Clinics-4GA3)
- [Investigating Socio-Economic Disparities in the Damages Caused by Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita in Southern Louisiana Counties](https://github.com/paezha/Hurricane-Damage-Lousiana-4GA3)
- [The Effects of Income and Unemployment on Crime in Toronto](https://github.com/paezha/Crime-in-Toronto-4GA3)
## Contributing
An advantage of an Open Educational Resource compared to traditional publishing (besides it being free!) is that it is a live, ongoing project, for as long as anyone cares for it. If you are using this resource, I would encourage you to contribute to improve it, by:
- suggesting improvements to the text, e.g. clarifying unclear sentences, fixing typos (see guidance from [Yihui Xie](https://yihui.name/en/2013/06/fix-typo-in-documentation/));
- proposing changes to the code, e.g. to do things in a more efficient way; and
- making requests to develop content (see the project's [issue tracker](https://github.com/paezha/spatial-analysis-r/issues)).
```{r, include=FALSE}
contributors = source("code/list-contributors.R")[[1]]
# save for future reference:
readr::write_csv(contributors, "extdata/contributors.csv")
c_txt = contributors$name
c_url = contributors$link
c_rmd = paste0("[", c_txt, "](", c_url, ")")
contributors_text = paste0(c_rmd, collapse = ", ")
```
Many thanks to all contributors to the book so far via GitHub (this list will update automatically): `r contributors_text`.
