Space-time datasets are indexed both in space and in time. Their one- or two-dimensional analysis will typically start displaying the data in diagrams revealing the inner nature and relationships of the underlying variables. This training is organized into three parts, each devoted to different types of data. Each part comprises several topics and hands-on labs according to the various visualization methods or data characteristics. In the first part of the training, you will see how you can visualize time series data by using packages like zoo and xts for the analysis of time series data and packages like ggplot2, latticeExtra, and googleVis for their presentation. The next part of the training focuses on visualisation techniques for spatial data and presents packages like raster, rasterVis, maps, and googleVis. The third and last part finally combines variables which measure time and spatial data and teaches you how to create diagrams for such complex datasets.
