The package waywiser maintained by Mike Mahoney provides ergonomic methods for assessing spatial models.Assessing predictive models of spatial data can be challenging,both because these models are typically built for extrapolating outside the original region represented by training data and due to potential spatially structured errors,with “hot spots” of higher than expected error clustered geographically due to spatial structure in the

Abstract / TLDR R-universe now builds WASM binaries of all R packages for use in WebR applications (such as shinylive).

The API endpoint is simply /api/snapshot and has several options to filter content.
