Hierarchical Modeling and Analysis for Spatial Data

More than twice the size of its predecessor, this second edition reflects the major growth in spatial statistics as both a research area and an area of application. This edition includes four new chapters on spatial point patterns, big data, spatial and spatiotemporal gradient modeling, and the theoretical aspects of point-referenced modeling. It also expands several other chapters, updates the WinBUGS programs and R packages, doubles the number of exercises, and integrates many more color figures throughout the text.
