| Title: | Interactive 'shiny' Application for Model-Based Geostatistics |
| Version: | 0.1.0 |
| Description: | Provides an interactive 'shiny' application for teaching and applied analysis of geostatistical data. Users can explore spatial data, assess spatial correlation through the empirical variogram, fit model-based geostatistical models for continuous, prevalence and count outcomes, produce spatial predictions, and download reports. The methodology follows the model-based geostatistics framework of Diggle and Giorgi (2019, ISBN:9781138732353). |

MBGapp: Interactive Shiny Application for Model-Based Geostatistics
Description
The MBGapp package provides a Shiny web application for teaching and applied geostatistical analysis. Users can explore spatial data interactively, assess spatial correlation through the empirical variogram, fit model-based geostatistical models for continuous, prevalence and count outcomes, generate spatial predictions, and download reports.
Details
The application is launched with run_app.
The packages listed in the Imports field are required by the bundled
Shiny application (in inst/MBGapp) and are loaded by it at runtime;
they are intentionally not imported into the package namespace so that the
package itself loads quickly and without pulling in optional system
dependencies (e.g. Tcl/Tk via geoR) on headless machines.

Launch the MBGapp Shiny application
Description
Runs the interactive Shiny application for model-based geostatistical analysis that is bundled with the package. The application lets the user upload data, explore it, fit geostatistical models and produce predictions and reports.
Usage
run_app()
Value
No return value; called for the side effect of launching the Shiny application.
Examples
if (interactive()) {
run_app()
}
