Reihe: Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics

The Wiley-Interscience Paperback Series consists of selected booksthat have been made more accessible to consumers in an effort toincrease global appeal and general circulation. With these newunabridged softcover volumes, Wiley hopes to extend the lives ofthese works by making them available to future generations ofstatisticians, mathematicians, and scientists.
"Books such as this that bring together, clarify, and summarizerecent research can lead to a great increase of interest in thearea. . . . a major achievement in describing many aspects ofspatial data and discussing, with examples, different methods ofanalysis."
-Royal Statistical Society
"Dr. Ripley's book is an excellent survey of the spatialstatistical methodology. It is very well illustrated with examples[that] give a clear view of the wide scope of the subject, the wayin which techniques often have to be tailored to particularapplications, and the different sorts of spatial data thatarise."
-The Bulletin of the London Mathematics Society
Spatial Statistics provides a comprehensive guide to theanalysis of spatial data. Each chapter covers a particular dataformat and the associated class of problems, introducing theory,giving computational suggestions, and providing examples. Methodsare illustrated by computer-drawn figures. The book serves as anintroduction to this rapidly growing research area formathematicians and statisticians, and as a reference to newcomputer methods for researchers in ecology, geology, archaeology,and the earth sciences.
