{"product_id":"9780387001364","title":"Lecture Notes in Statistics","description":"\u003ch1\u003eLecture Notes in Statistics\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eMøller, Jesper\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpatial statistics and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques have \neach undergone major developments in the last decade. Also, these two \nareas are mutually reinforcing, because MCMC methods are often \nnecessary for the practical implementation of spatial statistical \ninference, while new spatial stochastic models in turn motivate the \ndevelopment of improved MCMC algorithms. \nThis volume shows how sophisticated spatial statistical and \ncomputational methods apply to a range of problems of increasing \nimportance for applications in science and technology. It consists of \nfour chapters: 1. Petros Dellaportas and Gareth O. Roberts give a \ntutorial on MCMC methods, the computational methodology which is \nessential for virtually all the complex spatial models to be \nconsidered in subsequent chapters. 2. Peter J. Diggle, Paulo J, \nRibeiro Jr., and Ole F. Christensen introduce the reader to the model- \nbased approach to geostatistics, i.e. the application of general \nstatistical principles to the formulation of explicit stochastic \nmodels for geostatistical data, and to inference within a declared \nclass of models. 3. Merrilee A. Hurn, Oddvar K. Husby, and H?vard Rue \ndiscuss various aspects of image analysis, ranging from low to high \nlevel tasks, and illustrated with different examples of applications. \n4. Jesper Moller and Rasmus P. Waggepetersen collect recent \ntheoretical advances in simulation-based inference for spatial point \nprocesses, and discuss some examples of applications. \nThe volume introduces topics of current interest in spatial and \ncomputational statistics, which should be accessible to postgraduate \nstudents as well as to experienced statistical researchers. It is \npartly based on the course material for the \"TMR and MaPhySto Summer \nSchool on Spatial Statistics and Computational Methods,\" held at \nAalborg University, Denmark, August 19-22, 2001.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2003-03-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780387001364\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-0-387-21811-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 205\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45379033399436,"sku":"9780387001364","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780387001364.jpg?v=1775730045","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780387001364","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
