geoRglm Introductory session

The package geoRglm provides functions for inference in generalised linear spatial models using the software R. This document illustrates some of the capabilities of the package.

We assume that the user has a substantial knowledge about geostatistics, is familar with the geoR package (see the introductory session for geoR), and has a basic knowledge about Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. We also encourage the reader to study the literature about generalised linear spatial models. A list of books, articles and a short FAQ can be found here.

The main introduction to geoRglm is the package vignette, which is shown by typing vignette("geoRglmintro") in a session, and with R commands available in the inst/doc/ directory of the package.
