#rstats #qgis #gischat blog post on layer blending with {tidyterra} https://barney.fly.dev/2026/01/27/ggplot2-blending-adventure/

Anyone know where I might purchase a Win 11 incompatible PC in the UK? Hoping to pick up a bargain now there’s presumably a glut of unwanted machines… #linux #Tech #windows

Any other #spatial #foss #gis #gischat #maps #rstats #python fedicrew going to be at #foss4g in Leeds tomorrow?! I'll be around, my first time!

hivemind style question about spatial model sampling strategy: when modelling a highly spatially autocorrelated response such as the one shown here, I found the only way to produce models with correctable spatial autocorrelation (using {spatialRF} package eigenvectors) in the residuals was by enforcing a 'one-point-per-sample-grid cell' approach as shown below. What might be the implications for interpretation? #rstats #gis @blasbenito @edzer @mdsumner @defuneste @joeroe

Feeling lucky to be in a job (for now) that I love so much. Just arrived back from a 5 day workshop in Goettingen, Germany. We invited palaeoecologists, palynologists, historians, ethnographers and archaeologists working on the Atlantic Forest of #brazil. We were also honoured to host a Tupi-guarani village leader, who generously offered his unique perspectives. I delivered a 2 day workshop on #gis #rstats #ecology species distribution modelling using #tidymodels and #tidysdm.

Do any of my #rstats #datascience #gis #statistics crew on here have much experience with balancing covariates for causal inference using the {cobalt} or {WeightIt} R packages? Some blurb about the method here... be good to pick your brains if so! https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/WeightIt/vignettes/WeightIt.html
