Description

Spatial Error Estimation and Variable Importance

This package implements spatial error estimation and permutation-based spatial variable importance using different spatial cross-validation and bootstrap methods. Supported resampling methods include various types of block resampling, leave-one-out sampling with buffer, and resampling at the level of predefined groups; users can implement their own resampling functions. To cite {sperrorest} in publications, reference the paper by @Brenning2012. To see the package in action, please check the vignette "Spatial Modeling Use Case".
