Appendix B – Spatial Models in R

In this appendix we give a brief review of the statistical computer program R, which is a freely available language and environment for statistical computing, distributed under the General Public License (GPL). Additionally, it is available for Microsoft Windows, for a variety of Linux platforms, and for Mac OS X. The main purpose of this appendix is to get the reader started with R in order to be able to reproduce most of the examples in this book, and do his/her own research. The reader is assumed to have a working installation of the software and all the three packages that will be used in this appendix, spdep, sphet and splm, as well as other necessary dependencies.
