bentobox: Built Environment Network objects ToolBox

About

Inspired by the tidyverse’s package ecosystem that work together cohesively for day-to-day analysis, the bentobox package is intended to provide a wide range of data structures and modeling techniques for those working with built environment data. The bentobox contains the following packages

• rbenvo for creating and working with subject - built environment relational data.
• rsstap for estimating population level effects of built environment exposure on pertinent health outcomes.
• bendr for estimating clusters of spatial distributions between subjects and point pattern built environment features.
• rstapDP for estimating heterogeneous - cluster level effects of built environment exposure on pertinent health outcomes.
