Spatial analysis in R

Software Requirements

1. R interpreter.
2. R libraries that are used for spatial analysis. Although, the sp package has been the library of choice. Some of the contributors to sp got together and proposed a new library called sf, short for 'spatial features'. This guide will use the sf library. At the heart of sf objects are data frames with which most of you are familiar with. The idea is that each record in the data frame will have a geometry component associated with it. All the operations you do with data frames work with sf packages. For more information, guides, and many other things, please refer to this repository. I personally find this cheatsheet very helpful.
