Statistical Methods for Spatial Data Analysis

Statistical Methods for Spatial Data Analysis



Author: Oliver Schabenberger
Edition: 1
Publisher: Chapman and Hall/CRC
Binding: Hardcover
ISBN: 1584883227



Statistical Methods for Spatial Data Analysis (Chapman & Hall/CRC Texts in Statistical Science)


Understanding spatial statistics requires tools from applied and mathematical statistics, linear model theory, regression, time series, and stochastic processes. Medical books Statistical Methods for Spatial Data Analysis . It also requires a mindset that focuses on the unique characteristics of spatial data and the development of specialized analytical tools designed explicitly for spatial data analysis. Statistical Methods for Spatial Data Analysis answers the demand for a text that incorporates all of these factors by presenting a balanced exposition that explores both the theoretical foundations of the field of spatial statistics as well as practical methods for the analysis of spatial data.

This book is a comprehensive and illustrative treatment of basic statistical theory and methods for spatial data analysis, employing a model-based and frequentist approach that emphasizes the spatial domain. It introduces essential tools and approaches including: measures of autocorrelation and their role in data analysis; the background and theoretical framework supporting random fields; the analysis of mapped spatial point patterns; estimation and modeling of the covariance function and semivariogram; a comprehensive treatment of spatial analysis in the spectral domain; and spatial prediction and kriging Medical books Statistical Methods For Spatial Data Analysis Ebook. Statistical Methods for Spatial Data Analysis is a comprehensive treatment of statistical theory and methods for spatial data analysis, employing a model-based and frequentist approach that emphasizes the spatial domain. The authors deliver an outstanding treatment of semivariogram estimation and modeling, spatial analysis in the spectral domain, and spatial regression, covering linear models with uncorrelated errors, linear models with spatially-correlated errors and generalized linear mixed models for spatial data and succinctly discussing Bayesian hierarchical models. The book concludes with a review of simulation, non-stationary covariance, and spatio-temporal processes.

Spatial Cluster Modelling Epub

Spatial Cluster Modelling



Author:
Edition: 1
Publisher: Chapman and Hall/CRC
Binding: Hardcover
ISBN: 1584882662



Spatial Cluster Modelling (Monographs on Statistics and Applied Probability)


Research has generated a number of advances in methods for spatial cluster modelling in recent years, particularly in the area of Bayesian cluster modelling. Medical books Spatial Cluster Modelling . Along with these advances has come an explosion of interest in the potential applications of this work, especially in epidemiology and genome research.

In one integrated volume, this book reviews the state-of-the-art in spatial clustering and spatial cluster modelling, bringing together research and applications previously scattered throughout the literature. It begins with an overview of the field, then presents a series of chapters that illuminate the nature and purpose of cluster modelling within different application areas, including astrophysics, epidemiology, ecology, and imaging. The focus then shifts to methods, with discussions on point and object process modelling, perfect sampling of cluster processes, partitioning in space and space-time, spatial and spatio-temporal process modelling, nonparametric methods for clustering, and spatio-temporal cluster modelling Medical books Spatial Cluster Modelling. Categories: Cluster analysis, Spatial analysis. Contributors: Andrew B. Lawson - Editor. Format: Hardcover

Many figures, some in full color, complement the text, and a single section of references cited makes it easy to locate source material. Leading specialists in the field of cluster modelling authored each chapter, and an introduction by the editors to each chapter provides a cohesion not typically found in contributed works. Spatial Cluster Modelling thus offers a singular opportunity to explore this exciting new field, understand its techniques, and apply them in your own research.

Applied Spatial Statistics for Public Health Data

(Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics) Description: While mapped data provide a common ground for discussions between the public, the media, regulatory agencies, and public health researchers, The analysis of spatially referenced data has experienced a phenomenal growth over the last two decades, thanks in part to the development of geographical information systems (GISs). This is the first thorough overview to integrate spatial statistics with data management and the display capabilities of GIS. It describes methods for assessing the likelihood of observed patterns and quantifying the l



Medical Book Applied Spatial Statistics for Public Health Data



Written for practicing public health researchers as well as graduate students in related fields, the text provides a thorough introduction to basic concepts and methods in applied spatial statistics as well as a detailed treatment of some of the more recent methods in spatial statistics useful for public health studies that have not been previously covered elsewhere.

Assuming minimal knowledge of spatial statistics, the authors provide important statistical approaches for assessing such questions as:

  • Are newly occurring cases of a disease "clustered" in space?
  • Do the cases cluster around suspected sources of increased risk, such as toxic waste sites or other environmental hazards?
  • How do we take monitored pollution concentrations measured at specific locations and interpolate them to locations where no measurements were taken?
  • How do we quantify associations between local disease rates and local exposures?
  • After reviewing traditional statistical methods used in public health research, the text provides an overview of the basic features of spatial data, illustrates various geographic mapping and visualization tools, and describes the sources of publicly available spatial data that might be useful in public health applications.
