mbg: Model-Based Geostatistics

Modern model-based geostatistics for point-referenced data. This package provides a simple interface to run spatial machine learning models and geostatistical models that estimate a continuous (raster) surface from point-referenced outcomes and, optionally, a set of raster covariates. The package also includes functions to summarize raster outcomes by (polygon) region while preserving uncertainty.
