The systemPipeShiny (SPS) framework comes with many useful utility functions. However, installing the whole framework is heavy and takes some time. If you like only a few useful utility functions from SPS, install this package is enough.

Fits, spatially predicts, and temporally forecasts space-time data using Gaussian Process (GP): (1) spatially varying coefficient process models and (2) spatio-temporal dynamic linear models. Bakar et al., (2016). Bakar et al., (2015).

Spatio-temporal data have become increasingly popular in many research fields. Such data often have complex structures that are difficult to describe and estimate. This package provides reliable tools for modeling complicated spatio-temporal data. It also includes tools of online process monitoring to detect possible change-points in a spatio-temporal process over time. More specifically, the package implements the spatio-temporal mean estimation procedure described in Yang and Qiu (2018) <doi:10.1002/sim.7622>, the spatio-temporal covariance estimation procedure discussed in Yang and Qiu (2019) <doi:10.1002/sim.8315>, the three-step method for the joint estimation of spatio-temporal mean and covariance functions suggested by Yang and Qiu (2022) <doi:10.1007/s10463-021-00787-2>, the spatio-temporal disease surveillance method discussed in Qiu and Yang (2021) <doi:10.1002/sim.9150> that can accommodate the covariate effect, the spatial-LASSO-based process monitoring method proposed by Qiu and Yang (2023) <doi:10.1080/00224065.2022.2081104>, and the online spatio-temporal disease surveillance method described in Yang and Qiu (2020) <doi:10.1080/24725854.2019.1696496>.

A set of functions that can be used to spatially thin
    species occurrence data. The resulting thinned data can be used in ecological
    modeling, such as ecological niche modeling.

Fits, spatially predicts and temporally forecasts large amounts of space-time data using  [1] Bayesian Gaussian Process (GP) Models, [2] Bayesian Auto-Regressive (AR) Models, and [3] Bayesian Gaussian Predictive Processes (GPP) based AR Models for spatio-temporal big-n problems.
