spatialrisk (Q119009)

Provides computational building blocks for fixed-radius spatial aggregation, weighted circle-placement problems, hotspot detection, and polygon-based spatial summaries. The package focuses on efficient determination of the sum of observations within a given radius, identifying areas of high local concentration, and aggregating point data to polygon geometries. These methods are useful for applications such as insurance, urban analytics, environmental exposure analysis, and other spatial point pattern workflows. The fixed-radius circle placement problem is discussed by Chazelle and Lee (1986) <doi:10.1007/BF02238188>, and related maximum covering problems are described by Church (1974) <doi:10.1007/BF01942293>.
