Page 88-89: From sp 1.2-4, a bug in the the calculation of great circle distances has been corrected, and the printed distance of 124.0994 should be 124.1372 and equivalently 125.8692 should be 125.9068.

Page 93: footnote 16: http://www.sph.emory.edu/~lwaller/WGindex.htm changed to http://web1.sph.emory.edu/users/lwaller/WGindex.htm.

Page 94: From rgdal 1.2.* and GDAL 2, integer values read from ESRI Shapefiles and specified with wide fields are treated as 64-bit integers. This breaks earlier assumptions, so that from rgdal 1.2.*, the readOGR() integer64= argument is changed from default “allow.loss” to “no.loss”, returning a string value rather than an integer (or in some settings a double value). In this case, “allow.loss” returning an R 32-bit signed integer is the intended behaviour.

Page 97: Access to the EFFIS WFS server has been terminated (WMS appears to continue at http://forest.jrc.ec.europa.eu/effis/applications/data-and-services/). The data are provided as an R object (layer names) and a shapefile in the Chapter bundle.

Page 98, chunk 58: after updating to spacetime 1.0-6, the stplot command has changed its arguments, and the dispatching object should be cast to STI from STIDF: stplot(as(Fires2, “STI”), number=3, sp.layout=spl, cex=0.5).

Page 108, chunks 98-100: If you run the commented-out code in chunk 99 (bug reported by Manfred Jensen), you need to re-import the image in banded rather than native form, following changes in the RgoogleMaps package, adding:

myMap$myTile <- readPNG("MyTile2.png", native=FALSE)

Page 120, chunk 139: To correct errors in brackets, the lines in the middle of the code chunk at the foot of the page should read:

> crs <- CRS(proj4string(vsnow4buf))
> SGDF <- SpatialGridDataFrame(GRD, proj4string=crs, data=data.frame(o=o))

Page 135: From GEOS 3.9.0 with Overlay-NG, the same slivers are found, but their order differs.

Page 147: R >= 3.6 uses a different default sampler giving for the same seed 991 instead of 979 and 999 for 1003 output counts. The tabulation on page 148 is also changed, with max. grid_regular becoming 77.

Section 5.3.3, foot of page 147, code chunk 72, tabulation of five number summaries. Because over() now returns a data frame, the coordinates method fails for extracting the number of data objects returned; corrected in cm2_mod.R.

Page 143, Chunk 57: maptools should be loaded explicitly.

Page 145-146: From version 2.3-0 of raster (released 6 September 2014), the argument small=FALSE should be added to match the over method in sp; before 2.3-0, the default was FALSE, but was changed to TRUE at this release.

Page 180, chunk 19: Changes in spatstat 1.45-0 enforce a tighter spacing of the r vector, changed in code from by = 0.005 to by = 0.001

Page 186: Changes in spatstat::bw.diggle() between versions 1.41-1 and 1.42-1 appear to have made a small change to the value returned.

Page 228: Minor changes in fitted variogram values following the change to BLAS/LAPACK from Meschach linear algebra functions in gstat 1.1-0.

Page 236: Following the change to BLAS/LAPACK from Meschach linear algebra functions in gstat 1.1-0, the poor matrix condition check example in chunk 61 should be omitted. The Choleski decomposition used from gstat 1.1-0 on indicates that the resulting covariance matrix is not positive definite, and generates missing values.

Pages 241-242: df constructed wrongly; “it would appear as though the estimate of the intercept is -2.47 and the estimate of beta1 is 6.95. I wonder if these labels are switched, as a simple lm of log(zinc) on sqrt(dist) has intercept 6.99 and slope -2.54 - there is a negative relationship of log zinc with sqrt(dist)”; thanks to Susan Service. Script updated 30 August 2017.

Page 244: Minor change in prediction variance values following the change to BLAS/LAPACK from Meschach linear algebra functions in gstat 1.1-0.

Pages 244-245, section 8.5.10, chunk 85: Starting with gstat 1.1-0, the option to set cn_max is no longer needed (nor present from 1.1-1), due to the replacement of the meschach matrix library with the Lapack/BLAS library. The new behaviour in case of non-positive definiteness is printing of the warning (Covariance matrix singular at location [x,y,z]: skipping…) and continuing with the next location. Singularity is now by default detected by the Lapack routine dpotrs, which uses Choleski decomposition and breaks on non-positive definiteness. Gstat versions prior to 1.1-0 used the LDL’ decomposition instead of the Choleski decomposition. Some non-positive definite matrices can be decomposed by LDL’, but not by Choleski. Compatibility with the pre-gstat 1.1-0 behaviour is obtained when the variable choleski is set to the value 0, in the same way cn_max was defined.

Page 247-248, sections 8.7.1/2: changes in sample() from R >= 3.6.0 change the model training and validation sets and R2 measure; the cross-validation score summary is also changed.

Page 260: drop as geoR unavailable (May 2022).

From spdep 1.1-1, functions for fitting models are moved to the new package spatialreg, and changes are made to adapt. Present changes pass most deprecated spdep functions through to spatialreg.

Page 285, The sentence introducing local Moran’s I is potentially misleading; the formula is given after Lloyd (2007) p. 67, eq. 4.16, originally from Anselin (1995) p. 99, eq. 12 [Anselin, L. 1995. Local indicators of spatial association, Geographical Analysis, 27, 93-115], and Getis and Ord (1996) p. 267-268, eq. 14.4 [Getis, A. and Ord, J. K. 1996 Local spatial statistics: an overview. In P. Longley and M. Batty (eds) Spatial analysis: modelling in a GIS environment (Cambridge: Geoinformation International), 261-277]. The “sum” referred to is the sum of the calculated values of local Moran’s divided by the sum of the weights [for example using Szero() on the listw object].

Page 336: chunk 38: From CARBayes 3.0, the function name changes to independent.re; dismap_mod.R has been modified to work with 3.0. Further changes in CARBayes 4.0, function name to S.independent; dismap_mod.R has been modified to work with 4.0. In CARBayes 4.4, the S.independent has been withdrawn.

Page 344: chunk 63: From CARBayes 3.0, the function name changes to bymCAR.re; dismap_mod.R has been modified to work with 3.0. Further changes in CARBayes 4.0, function name to S.CARbym; dismap_mod.R has been modified to work with 4.0. From CARBayes 4.2, the acceptance thresholds (hardcoded in code in that package) were changed, leading to different results; the format of the output also changed.

Pages 344-346: chunk 67: Updating from R2BayesX 0.1-2 to 0.3-1 changes the names of components of the returned objects; dismap_mod.R has been modified to work with older and current versions of the package.

Page 347: chunk 72 commented out to handle temporary issue between BayesX and akima; no code run for Fig. 10.20.

Pages 357-359: chunk 93: the code creating figure 10.23 failed on 2016-02-29, as this was the first leap year day encountered - dismap_mod.R has been modified to avoid the problem (next time in four years …)

Pages 359-361: chunk 101: Updating from R2BayesX 0.1-2 to 0.3-1 changes the names of components of the returned objects; dismap_mod.R has been modified to work with older and current versions of the package.
