Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The world is becoming increasingly complex, with larger quantities of data available to be analyzed. 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.Spatio-Temporal Statistics with R 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: - Gives a step-by-step approach to analyzing spatio-temporal data, starting with visualization, then statistical modelling, with an emphasis on hierarchical statistical models and basis function expansions, and finishing with model evaluation - Provides a gradual entry to the methodological aspects of spatio-temporal statistics - Provides broad coverage of using R as well as 'R Tips' throughout. - Features detailed examples and applications in end-of-chapter Labs - Features 'Technical Notes' throughout to provide additional technical detail where relevant - Supplemented by a website featuring the associated R package, data, reviews, errata, a discussion forum, and more The 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.
