What are the key challenges when using machine learning for spatial prediction?
In a new blog post, I summarize our recent paper, where we discuss spatial dependence, validation, sampling, uncertainty, applicability, and reproducibility in spatial ML.

New on CRAN: SpatialML (1.8.2). View at https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=SpatialML
SpatialML: Spatial Machine Learning
Implements a spatial extension of the random forest algorithm (Georganos et al. (2019) <<a href="https://doi.org/10.1080%2F10106049.2019.1595177" target="_top">doi:10.1080/10106049.2019.1595177</a>>). Provides a Geographically Weighted Random Forest regression and a routine to find the optimal bandwidth (Georganos and Kalogirou (2022) <<a href="https://doi.org/10.3390%2Fijgi11090471" target="_top">doi:10.3390/ijgi11090471</a>>). A lightweight cross-validation helper for tuning the 'mtry' parameter of a random forest and a generator of synthetic spatial test data are also included. The package depends on 'ranger' as its single random-forest back-end.

Thanks, Andrei. I just tried it on the provided example and its seems limited in the same way as the SpatialML package: it works on small data, but does not seem to be suitable for larger (raster) data problems I usually work on. Or maybe I am missing something?

From validation to uncertainty analysis, we explored key topics with top researchers.
Now, we're working on synthesizing outcomes—stay tuned!
