Updates include:

  • Easier Installation: GWSDAT’s Excel Add-in deployment has been redesigned for easier and more robust installation which no longer requires administrative rights. See Installation Instructions section here.
  • Faster Spatiotemporal Modelling: The GWSDAT Excel Add-in now comes bundled with a portable Windows R version optimized for linear algebra which enables the spatiotemporal model to run quicker for higher resolution model settings. This enables users to more readily increase the modelling resolution which can be useful for fixing occurrences of the statistical anomaly referred to as “ballooning” – where predictions can be high in areas where there are no data.
