The goal of compstatr is to provide a suite of tools for working with crime data made public by the City of St. Louis’ Metropolitan Police Department.
Quick Start
If the sf package is already installed, the easiest way to get compstatr is to install it from CRAN:
install.packages("compstatr")
The development version of compstatr can be accessed from GitHub with remotes:
# install.packages("remotes") remotes::install_github("slu-openGIS/compstatr")
Additional details, including some tips for installing sf, can be found in the Get started article.
Resources
In addition to instructions for installation, the main Get started article has:
- some tips on installing
compstatrand its dependencies, - a quick overview of data acquisition,
- an overview of the functions available in
compstatr, - and a full example of the
compstatrworkflow along with some basic mapping of these data.
