From Region

• R (models)

  • Rgeoda: SKATER, REDCAP, Max-p
  • sdpt3r: gpp (Graph Partitioning Problem)
  • R Boost Graph Library

• R (applications)

  • Phyloregion: R package for biogeographic regionalization and spatial conservation
  • HiClimR: Hierarchical Climate Regionalization.
  • synoptReg Synoptic climate classification and spatial regionalization of environmental data.
  • OpenLCA: deal with regionalized life cycle inventory and life cycle impact of agricultural products.

Other

• ArcGIS
  • Locate Regions (for raster data) Identifies the best regions, or groups of contiguous cells, from an input utility (suitability) raster that satisfies a specified evaluation criterion and that meets identified shape, size, number, and interregional distance constraints. (ArcMap 10.5 or newer) (parameterized region-growing (PRG) technique)
  • Grouping analysis(for vector data) Considers spatial constraints (contiguity edge only/edges corners, K nearest neighbors, Delaunay triangulation), initialization (find seed locations, get seeds to form field, and use random seeds) and evaluation (Optimal number of groups using Pseudo F-statistic).
