  • Spatio-Temporal Models for Ecologists

    by James Thorson, Kasper Kristensen ...
    Series series Chapman & Hall/CRC Applied Environmental Statistics
    Ecological dynamics are tremendously complicated and are studied at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. Ecologists often simplify analysis by describing changes in density of individuals across a landscape, and statistical methods are advancing rapidly for studying spatio-temporal dynamics. However, spatio-temporal statistics is often presented using a set of principles that may seem very ... Read more

  • Time Series Analysis by State Space Methods

    by Siem Jan Koopman, The late James Durbin ...
    Series Book 38 - Oxford Statistical Science Series
    This new edition updates Durbin & Koopman's important text on the state space approach to time series analysis. The distinguishing feature of state space time series models is that observations are regarded as made up of distinct components such as trend, seasonal, regression elements and disturbance terms, each of which is modelled separately. The techniques that emerge from this approach are ... Read more
