Dear All, Hope you are safe and well! I am writing to inform you that the new R package, elsa, is released on CRAN. This package is a framework that provides the methods for quantifying the new local spatial statictic, named "entropy-based local indicator of spatial association" (ELSA), that can be used for both continuous and categorical data. In addition, global spatial structure can be measured using a new variogram-like diagram, called entrogram. The package vignette provides a quick demonstration of some main functions in the package: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/elsa/vignettes/elsa.html The paper that introduces ELSA is published in the journal of spatial statistics and is available here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2211675318300228 The package, elsa, is also followed with functions to calculate other LISAs and global statistics for different types of spatial datasets (i.e., Raster, SpatialPointsDataFrame, SpatialPolygonsDataFrame).
