It so happens that much of these \"big data\" that are available are spatio-temporal in nature, meaning that they can be indexed by their spatial locations and time stamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSpatio-Temporal Statistics with R\u003c\/em\u003e provides an accessible introduction to statistical analysis of spatio-temporal data, with hands-on applications of the statistical methods using R Labs found at the end of each chapter. The book:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eGives a step-by-step approach to analysing spatio-temporal data, starting with visualisation, then statistical modelling, with an emphasis on hierarchical statistical models and basis function expansions, and finishing with model evaluation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eProvides a gradual entry to the methodological aspects of spatio-temporal statistics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eProvides broad coverage of using R as well as \"R Tips\" throughout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFeatures detailed examples and applications in end-of-chapter Labs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFeatures \"Technical Notes\" throughout to provide additional technical detail where relevant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIs supplemented by a website featuring the associated R package, data, reviews, errata, a discussion forum, and more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book fills a void in the literature and available software, providing a bridge for students and researchers alike who wish to learn the basics of spatio-temporal statistics. It is written in an informal style and functions as a down-to-earth introduction to the subject. Any reader familiar with calculus-based probability and statistics, and who is comfortable with basic matrix-algebra representations of statistical models, would find this book easy to follow. The goal is to give as many people as possible the tools and confidence to analyse spatio-temporal data.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47607795351788,"sku":"9781138711136","price":93.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781138711136-spatio-temporal-statistics-with-r.jpg?v=1778173674","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/spatio-temporal-statistics-with-r-by-christopher-k-wikle-9781138711136","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
