  • 9781466560239 (hbk.)
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 000SA.07 23 D573
Contents:
1. Introduction -- 2. Preliminary testing -- 3. Methods for sparsely sampled patterns -- 4. Spatial point processes -- 5. Nonparametric methods -- 6. Models -- 7. Model-fitting using summary descriptions -- 8. Model-fitting using likelihood-based methods -- 9. Point process methods in spatial epidemiology -- 10. Spatio-temporal point processes -- 11. Exploratory analysis -- 12. Empirical models and methods -- 13. Mechanistic models and methods -- References -- Index.
Summary: This third rdition presents models and statistical methods for analyzing spatially referenced point process data. Reflected in the title, this third edition now covers spatio-temporal point patterns. It explores the methodological developments from the last decade along with diverse applications that use spatio-temporally indexed data. Practical examples illustrate how the methods are applied to analyze spatial data in the life sciences. This edition also incorporates the use of R through several packages dedicated to the analysis of spatial point process data.
