ANLY 512 - Problem Set 5

Spatial Visualization

Objectives

Using the spatial visualization techniques, explore this data set on Pennsylvania hospitals (http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=eccee5dfe01e4c4283c9be0cfc596882). Create a series of 5 maps that highlight spatial differences in hospital service coverage for the state of PA.

To help you in getting the data imported into R, I have included the code below:

To import the data I use the foreign package, if you do not have it than be sure to install it prior to testing the code.

library(foreign)
dat <- read.dbf("C:/Users/lly/Desktop/pennsylv.dbf")  # change this to connect to your version

The dataset contains a number of variables about each hospital, many of them are clear and straight forward.

Now create 5 maps, including descriptions, that highlight the spatial distribution of hospital services in the state of PA. Upload these maps as a document to rpubs.com and submit that link to the Canvas assignment.
