CRAN Task View: Handling and Analyzing Spatio-Temporal Data

This task view aims at presenting R packages that are useful for the analysis of spatio-temporal data.

If something is inaccurate or missing, please send an e-mail to the maintainer or submit an issue or pull request in the GitHub repository linked above.

The following people contributed to this task view: Roger Bivand, Achim Zeileis, Michael Sumner, Ping Yang.

Although one could argue that all data are spatio-temporal, as they must have been taken somewhere and at some point in time, in many cases the spatial locations or times of observation are not registered, and irrelevant to the purpose of the study. Here, we will address the cases where both location and time of observation are registered, and relevant for the analysis of the data. The Spatial and TimeSeries task views shed light on spatial, and temporal data handling and analysis, individually.

• In long tables: In some cases, spatio-temporal data can be held in tables ( data.frame objects), with longitude, latitude and time as three of the columns, or an identifier for a location or region and time as columns. For instance, data sets in package plm for linear panel models have repeated observations for observational units, where these units often refer to spatial areas (countries, states) by an index. This index (a name, or number) can be matched to the spatial coordinates (polygons) of the corresponding area, an example of this is given by Pebesma (2012, Journal of Statistical Software) . As these data sets usually contain more than one attribute, to hold the data in a two-dimensional table a long table form is chosen, where each record contains the index of the observational unit, observation time, and all attributes.
• In time-wide tables: When a single attribute is considered, another layout is that of the time-wide table , where each observational unit forms a record and each column an observation time. googleVis lets you analyze such data in a way similar to gapminder (see links).
• In space-wide tables: An example of a space-wide table is the Irish wind data set, obtained by data(wind) in package gstat. It has time series as different columns, each column representing one location (weather station). The stConstruct function in package spacetime accepts data in long, time-wide or space-wide tables.
• Generic classes: Formal classes for spatio-temporal data in R are provided by the spacetime package, which offers S4 classes for full space-time grids (every observational unit contains an observation for each observation time), sparse space-time grids (regular, but incomplete grids), irregular space-time data (each observational unit is observed at its own time), and has limited support for trajectory data. spacetime classes have sp and xts objects as slots for the spatial and temporal components, and can deal with all spatial classes (points, lines, polygons, grids) of sp, regular and irregular time series, and extend the powerful methods (selection, aggregation, plotting coercion) from both packages. Package stars replaces spacetime for full space-time grids; package sftime replaces its irregulat spacetime data, although sf objects from package sf can also do that. Package cubble provides an alternative to pivot spacetime data into a spatial (nested) form and a temporal (long) form to represent full space-time grids and sparse space-time grids.
  
• Dedicated classes: dedicated classes are offered for:
  • data cubes: package stars provides methods to create, analyse and visualise raster and vector data cubes, array data with arbitrary dimensionaly where some dimensions refer to space (raster, vector) and/or time
  • Gridded/raster data: package raster and its successor terra deal with sets of rasters (called bricks, or stacks), and a set may reflect a temporal sequence; both package also handle vector data
  • Lattice data: package surveillance provides a class sts, which holds a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame slot for the areas, and numeric slots to define a regular time series (no time objects, such as POSIXct).
  • Point patterns: Package spatstat provides a class ppx that deals spatial and temporal coordinate. None of the point pattern classes mentioned support spatial or explicit temporal reference systems.
  • Trajectory data: see also the dedicated task view Tracking; Package adehabitatLT offers a class ltraj for trajectories, and methods for analyzing them; the packages move and trip both extend sp based classes for trajectories. A blog post on tidy storm trajectories points out how nested dataframes, along with geometry list columns of the sf package, can be used to model sets of trajectories, and visualise properties at the set level and at the level of individual fixes.

It implements the methodology found in the article by Rivest et al. (1998) about caribou abundance estimation. It also includes a function based on the Lincoln-Petersen Index as applied to radio telemetry data by White and Garrott (1990).
  • crawl Fit continuous-time correlated random walk models with time indexed covariates to animal telemetry data. The model is fit using the Kalman-filter on a state space version of the continuous-time stochastic movement process.

  • eyelinker Eyelink eye trackers output a horrible mess, typically under the form of a ‘.asc’ file. The file in question is an assorted collection of messages, events and raw data. This R package will attempt to make sense of it.
  • aniMotum Fits continuous-time random walk and correlated random walk state-space models to filter Argos satellite location data. Template Model Builder (‘TMB’) is used for fast estimation. The Argos data can be: (older) least squares-based locations; (newer) Kalman filter-based locations with error ellipse information; or a mixture of both. Separate measurement models are used for these two data types. The models estimate two sets of location states corresponding to: 1) each observation, which are (usually) irregularly timed; and 2) user-specified time intervals (regular or irregular).
  • marcher A set of tools for likelihood-based estimation, model selection and testing of two- and three-range shift and migration models for animal movement data as described in Gurarie et al. (2017). Provided movement data (X, Y and Time), including irregularly sampled data, functions estimate the time, duration and location of one or two range shifts, as well as the ranging area and auto-correlation structure of the movment. Tests assess, for example, whether the shift was “significant”, and whether a two-shift migration was a true return migration.
  • mdftracks ‘MTrackJ’ is an ‘ImageJ’ plugin for motion tracking and analysis. This package reads and writes ‘MTrackJ Data Files’ (‘.mdf’). It supports 2D data and read/writes cluster, point, and channel information. If desired, generates track identifiers that are unique over the clusters. See the project page for more information and examples.
  • momentuHMM Extended tools for analyzing telemetry data using generalized hidden Markov models. Features of momentuHMM (pronounced ``momentum’’) include data pre-processing and visualization, fitting HMMs to location and auxiliary biotelemetry or environmental data, biased and correlated random walk movement models, multiple imputation for incorporating location measurement error and missing data, user-specified design matrices and constraints for covariate modelling of parameters, decoding of the state process, visualization of fitted models, model checking and selection, and simulation. See McClintock and Michelot (2018).

This package is discussed extensively in Dan Kelley’s book Oceanographic Analysis with R, published in 2018 by ‘Springer-Verlag’ with ISBN 978-1-4939-8842-6.
  • rerddapXtracto Contains three functions that access environmental data from any ‘ERDDAP’ data web service. The rxtracto() function extracts data along a trajectory for a given “radius” around the point. The rxtracto_3D() function extracts data in a box. The rxtractogon() function extracts data in a polygon. All of those three function use the ‘rerddap’ package to extract the data, and should work with any ‘ERDDAP’ server. There are also two functions, plotBBox() and plotTrack() that use the ‘plotdap’ package to simplify the creation of maps of the data.
  • riverdist Reads river network shape files and computes network distances. Also included are a variety of computation and graphical tools designed for fisheries telemetry research, such as minimum home range, kernel density estimation, and clustering analysis using empirical k-functions with a bootstrap envelope. Tools are also provided for editing the river networks, meaning there is no reliance on external software.
  • SimilarityMeasures Functions to run and assist four different similarity measures. The similarity measures included are: longest common subsequence (LCSS), Frechet distance, edit distance and dynamic time warping (DTW). Each of these similarity measures can be calculated from two n-dimensional trajectories, both in matrix form.
  • SiMRiv Provides functions to generate and analyze spatially-explicit individual-based multistate movements in rivers, heterogeneous and homogeneous spaces. This is done by incorporating landscape bias on local behaviour, based on resistance rasters. Although originally conceived and designed to simulate trajectories of species constrained to linear habitats/dendritic ecological networks (e.g. river networks), the simulation algorithm is built to be highly flexible and can be applied to any (aquatic, semi-aquatic or terrestrial) organism, independently on the landscape in which it moves. Thus, the user will be able to use the package to simulate movements either in homogeneous landscapes, heterogeneous landscapes (e.g. semi-aquatic animal moving mainly along rivers but also using the matrix), or even in highly contrasted landscapes (e.g. fish in a river network). The algorithm and its input parameters are the same for all cases, so that results are comparable. Simulated trajectories can then be used as mechanistic null models (Potts & Lewis 2014) to test a variety of ‘Movement Ecology’ hypotheses (Nathan et al. 2008), including landscape effects (e.g. resources, infrastructures) on animal movement and species site fidelity, or for predictive purposes (e.g. road mortality risk, dispersal/connectivity). The package should be relevant to explore a broad spectrum of ecological phenomena, such as those at the interface of animal behaviour, management, landscape and movement ecology, disease and invasive species spread, and population dynamics.
  • smam Animal movement models including moving-resting process with embedded Brownian motion according to Yan et al. (2014), Pozdnyakov et al. (2017), Brownian motion with measurement error according to Pozdnyakov et al. (2014), and moving-resting-handling process with embedded Brownian motion, Pozdnyakov et al. (2018).

The package implements many typical outbreak detection procedures such as the (improved) Farrington algorithm, or the negative binomial GLR-CUSUM method of Höhle and Paul (2008).
  • trackdem Obtain population density and body size structure, using video material or image sequences as input.
