Spatio-Temporal Design: Advances in Efficient Data Acquisition

Bridging classic ideas with modern statistical modeling concepts and the latest computational methods, Spatio-temporal Design offers a state-of-the-art account of how to collect space-time data for monitoring. A common problem set is interwoven throughout the chapters, providing various perspectives to illustrate a complete insight to each problem. Motivated by the high demand for statistical analysis of data that takes spatial and spatio-temporal information into account, this book incorporates ideas from the areas of time series, spatial statistics and stochastic processes, and combines them to discuss optimum spatio-temporal sampling design.
