Abstract:

You are here. What happens north, south, east, or west of you is very likely to show dependence on what is happening here? Why? Because there is a flux of causal relationships in the space-time continuum that, when integrated out over time or captured in a small instant of time, shows neighboring values more highly correlated than those far apart. Statistical models for expressing spatial dependence are reviewed in this Introductory Overview Lecture, with special emphasis given to hierarchical (or multilevel) statistical models. Data sets will be introduced to illustrate spatial statistical thinking.
