meuse

<p>This data set gives locations and topsoil heavy metal
concentrations, collected in a flood plain of the river Meuse, near
the village of Stein (NL). Heavy metal concentrations are from
composite samples of an area of approximately 15 m x 15 m. This
version of the <code>meuse</code> dataset is a trimmed down version of
the eponymous dataset from the <code>sp</code> dataset.</p>

data

A collection of datasets and simplified functions for an introductory (geo)statistics module at University College London. Provides functionality for compositional, directional and spatial data, including ternary diagrams, Wulff and Schmidt stereonets, and ordinary kriging interpolation. Implements logistic and (additive and centred) logratio transformations. Computes vector averages and concentration parameters for the von-Mises distribution. Includes a collection of natural and synthetic fractals, and a simulator for deterministic chaos using a magnetic pendulum example. The main purpose of these functions is pedagogical. Researchers can find more complete alternatives for these tools in other packages such as 'compositions', 'robCompositions', 'sp', 'gstat' and 'RFOC'. All the functions are written in plain R, with no compiled code and a minimal number of dependencies. Theoretical background and worked examples are available at <https://tinyurl.com/UCLgeostats/>.
