Modern Approaches to Nonstationary Models of Spatial and Space-Time Processes with Air Quality Applications - Continuing Education - Course
The ASA
Instructor(s): Peter Guttorp, University of Washington, Paul D. Sampson, University of Washington
In this course, we will describe a variety of tools-originating in geostatistics but having found their own direction in environmetrics-suitable for estimating the air quality at unmonitored locations with realistic estimates of uncertainty. In particular, we will adapt the geostatistical kriging method to nonstationary spatial fields and nonseparable space-time processes and describe how one can even include deterministic model output in the estimation. The methods will be illustrated with examples out of the lecturers' experience, using freely available software tools.

Course attendees are expected to be familiar with the topic at the level of:
Statistical Inference by George Casella and Roger L. Berger, Duxbury Press.
