International vs domestic flights for this week's #TidyTuesday Code: github.com/gkaramanis/t... #RStats #dataviz

A faceted heatmap visualization showing the ratio of domestic to international flights across nine countries from 2011 to 2019. Each country has its own panel displaying monthly patterns across years, with a diverging color scheme where purple represents more international flights and green represents more domestic flights.

Looking at the mean ratios for the entire 2011-2019 period: China shows the strongest domestic preference with 10.2 times more domestic flights, followed by the United States (6.7x) and Australia (1.7x). The other countries show more international flights: Germany and the United Kingdom both have 10 times more international flights, Greece and Sweden each have 3.3 times more international flights, while Norway and Thailand have 1.4 times more international flights. Many countries display seasonal patterns, particularly visible during Northern Hemisphere summer months.

So if you're curious about GIS or just starting with spatial epi data? Check out Chapter 28 for a deep dive into concepts, code, and examples: www.epirhandbook.com/en/new_pages... And don’t forget to experiment with mapview. Probably the easiest map you'll ever make.

Under the hood of mapview is Leaflet rstudio.github.io/leaflet/. Which is a bit more complex but a lot more powerful. In the chapter, we guide you through how to: 📂 Load spatial data 🗺️ Create static maps 🌐 Build interactive maps 📊 Perform basic spatial analyses

We use mapview to: Pinpoint where our spatial data is located. 📍 Save interactive maps as HTML files to share with colleagues. 🌐 Quickly explore patterns and trends in spatial data. 🔍 GIS doesn’t have to be daunting, tools like mapview make mapping simple and accessible for everyone! 🚀

Enter mapview! This package takes spatial objects like sf and creates an interactive map easily. r-spatial.github.io/mapview/ library(mapview) mapview(your_sf_object) That’s it. One line, and you’ve got a clickable, zoomable map! Try it yourself. 🖱️📍
