Spatial point processes are mathematical models used to describeand analyse the geometrical structure of patterns formed by objectsthat are irregularly or randomly distributed in one-, two- orthree-dimensional space. Examples include locations of trees in aforest, blood particles on a glass plate, galaxies in the universe,and particle centres in samples of material.
Numerous aspects of the nature of a specific spatial pointpattern may be described using the appropriate statistical methods.Statistical Analysis and Modelling of Spatial Point Patternsprovides a practical guide to the use of these specialised methods.The application-oriented approach helps demonstrate the benefits ofthis increasingly popular branch of statistics to a broadaudience.
The book:
* Provides an introduction to spatial point patterns forresearchers across numerous areas of application
* Adopts an extremely accessible style, allowing thenon-statistician complete understanding
* Describes the process of extracting knowledge from the data,emphasising the marked point process
* Demonstrates the analysis of complex datasets, using appliedexamples from areas including biology, forestry, and materialsscience
* Features a supplementary website containing exampledatasets.
Statistical Analysis and Modelling of Spatial PointPatterns is ideally suited for researchers in the many areas ofapplication, including environmental statistics, ecology, physics,materials science, geostatistics, and biology. It is also suitablefor students of statistics, mathematics, computer science, biologyand geoinformatics.
