Chapman & Hall/CRC Monographs on Statistics and Applied Probability

Retaining all the material from the second edition and adding substantial new material, this third edition presents models and statistical methods for analyzing spatially referenced point process data. Reflected in the title, this edition now covers spatio-temporal point patterns. It also incorporates the use of R through several packages dedicated to the analysis of spatial point process data, with code and data sets available online. Practical examples illustrate how the methods are applied to analyze spatial data in the life sciences.
