Syllabus
1. Statistics of point processes, estimation of characteristics, hypothesis testing, model parameter estimation.
2. Statistics of marked point processes, estimation of characteristics, tests of independence.
3. Geostatistics, estimation of variogram, kriging.
4. Areal data, parameter estimation, spatial autocorrelation tests.
Annotation
The course is a continuation of Spatial Modelling NMTP438. The main attention is devoted to the statistical techniques for point processes, including both inhomogeneous point processes and marked point processes. The course also deals with geostatistics and statistics for areal data.
