Switching between space and time: Spatio-temporal analysis with cubble

Dear all,

Our next meetup will take place live at TU Wien. Our speaker is Sherry Zhang who is visiting from Australia and will introduce us to the cubble package, walking us through how we can work with spatial data and temporal data in R, and how we can more easily combine the two using cubble.

Abstract: Weather data have a spatial component given by the station coordinates and a temporal component that provides measurements on precipitation, maximum and minimum temperature. This will be a hand-on session to work with weather station data. We will use the package sf to work on the spatial side to generate some maps and the package tsibble to conduct some exploratory data analysis on the temporal side. One way to communicate space and time information together is through a glyph map where temporal coordinates are transformed into space. We will create the glyph map with the ggplot geom: geom_glyph(). Lastly, we will experiment with a new data structure, cubble, to arrange spatio-temporal data.

Best regards,
Your R-Ladies Vienna Organizing Team
