Chapter 7 in S+SpatialStats, 1998, pp 169-201 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter introduces the Geographic Information System (GIS) user to functions in S-Plus and S+SpatialStats that may be used for the analysis of spatial data from a GIS database. The main features of S+SpatialStats are illustrated through specific examples using data imported from the ARC/INFO GIS. The import is done with S+GISLINK, a module for S-Plus that allows data transfer between S-Plus and ARC/INFO. The examples in this chapter are meant to supplement the non-GIS examples used in chapters 4–6, by showing how spatial data analysis in S+SpatialStats might be implemented using several types of data from GIS. In this chapter you will learn about the following: GIS data, especially ARC/INFO coverages and spatial data analysis (section 7.1). Spatial data analysis of a point coverage (section 7.2). Spatial data analysis of a polygon coverage (section 7.3). Spatial data analysis of a grid (section 7.4).
