TY - GEN AU - Lieshout,M N M van TI - Theory of spatial statistics: : a concise introduction T2 - Texts in Statistical Science SN - 9780367146429 U1 - SA.052 23 PY - 2019/// CY - Boca Raton PB - CRC Press KW - Spatial Statistics N1 - Includes index; Introduction -- Random field modelling and interpolation -- Models and inference for areal unit data -- Spatial point processes N2 - presents the most important models used in spatial statistics, including random fields and point processes, from a rigorous mathematical point of view and shows how to carry out statistical inference. It contains full proofs, real-life examples and theoretical exercises. Solutions to the latter are available in an appendix. Assuming maturity in probability and statistics, these concise lecture notes are self-contained and cover enough material for a semester course. They may also serve as a reference book for researchers ER -
