Environmental Justice Served by Powerful S-PLUS and S+Spatial Data Analysis Tool Research
Abstract
Environmental justice seeks to ensure that no population is forced to shoulder a disproportionate burden of the negative human health and environmental impacts of pollution or other environmental hazards. The challenge facing researchers, the legal community, and civic action groups is that inductive procedures alone, such as those provided by maps through GIS, lend themselves to subjective interpretations. S-PLUS enables researchers with the ability to perform spatial statistical analyses on the data from an ArcView coverage providing greater productivity gains over other software packages which are not integrated into one platform.
