“Statistical Methods for Spatial and Spatio-Temporal Data Analysis” provides a complete range of spatio-temporal covariance functions and discusses ways of constructing them. This book is a unified approach to modeling spatial and spatio-temporal data together with significant developments in statistical methodology with applications in R. This book includes: • Methods for selecting valid covariance functions from the empirical counterparts that overcome the existing limitations of the traditional methods. • The most innovative developments in the different steps of the kriging process. • An up-to-date account of strategies for dealing with data evolving in space and time. • An accompanying website featuring R code and examples
