Import, create and assemble data needed to fit spatial-statistical stream-network models using the 'SSN2' package for 'R'. Streams, observations, and prediction locations are represented as simple features and specific tools provided to define topological relationships between features; calculate the hydrologic distances (with flow-direction preserved) and the spatial additive function used to weight converging stream segments; and export the topological, spatial, and attribute information to an `SSN` (spatial stream network) object, which can be efficiently stored, accessed and analysed in 'R'. A detailed description of methods used to calculate and format the spatial data can be found in Peterson, E.E. and Ver Hoef, J.M., (2014) tools:::Rd_expr_doi("10.18637/jss.v056.i02").
