This package is the R implementation of the DESPLIM (deterministic split-merge) algorithm for geospatial districting.
Aside from the main algorithm, the package contains several helper functions, which can be utilised when working with sf LINESTRING and POLYGON data.
This package depends heavily on the spatial package sf. It is recommended to install this package first.
Execute the following to install the latest version of desplim:
library(devtools)
install_github("thesixmax/desplim")In addition, the core functions can utilise parallel processing through the future framework, which is highly recommended.
install.packages("future")An associated paper is forthcoming.
Extended documentation, including examples, is work in progress.
