sp2shape

the sp package object or object created by either the grts or
irs functions.

sp.obj

Character string containing the name of the shapefile.
The shapefile name should include the ".shp" extension. If the name does
not include that extension, it will be added.

shpfilename

This function creates an ESRI shapefile from an sp package object. The
function can also accommodate an object created by the grts or irs functions
in spsurvey. The type of shapefile, i.e., point, polyline, or polygon, is
determined by the class of the sp object.

These functions provide procedures for selecting sites for spatial
surveys using spatially balanced algorithms applied to discrete points,
linear networks, or polygons. The probability survey designs available
include independent random samples, stratified random samples, and unequal
probability random samples (categorical or probability proportional to
size). Design-based estimation based on the results from surveys is
available for estimating totals, means, quantiles, CDFs, and linear models.
The analyses rely on package survey for most results. Variance estimation
options include a local neighborhood variance estimator that is appropriate
for spatially-balanced survey designs. A reference for the survey design
portion of the package is: D. L. Stevens, Jr. and A. R. Olsen (2004),
