popRF v1.0.0: Random Forest-informed Population Disaggregation R package
High resolution, recent data on human population distributions are important for measuring impacts of population growth, monitoring human-environment interactions and for planning and policy development. Many methods are used to disaggregate census data and predict population densities for finer scale, gridded population data sets. popRF is a population modelling R package utilizing Random Forests to inform a dasymetric redistribution of census-based population count data. A description of using Random Forests machine learning method in popRF is described in Stevens et al.
