Spatial data is actually big data and you need different tools and techniques to work your way around to model and create different workflows. R and QGIS have powerful features that can make this job easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is your companion for applying machine learning algorithms on GIS and remote sensing data. You’ll start by gaining an understanding of the nature of spatial data and installing R and QGIS. Then, you’ll learn how to use different R packages to import, export, and visualize data, before doing the same in QGIS. Screenshots are included to ease your understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoving on, you’ll learn about different aspects of managing and analyzing spatial data, before diving into advanced topics. You’ll create powerful data visualizations using ggplot2, ggmap, raster, and other packages of R. You’ll learn how to use QGIS 3.2.2 to visualize and manage (create, edit, and format) spatial data. Different types of spatial analysis are also covered using R. Finally, you’ll work with landslide data from Bangladesh to create a landslide susceptibility map using different machine learning algorithms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy reading this book, you’ll transition from being a beginner to an intermediate user of GIS and remote sensing data in no time.\u003c\/p\u003eWhat you will learn\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstall R and QGIS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet familiar with the basics of R programming and QGIS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisualize quantitative and qualitative data to create maps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFind out the basics of raster data and how to use them in R and QGIS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerform geoprocessing tasks and automate them using the graphical modeler of QGIS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply different machine learning algorithms on satellite data for landslide susceptibility mapping and prediction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eWho this book is for\u003cp\u003eThis book is great for geographers, environmental scientists, statisticians, and every professional who deals with spatial data.
