Críticas

"This book is a compilation of lecture notes from a number of distinguished professors from the United States, England, France, and Germany. This type of publication in statistics is specifically useful for postgraduate students and scientists."

"Spatial Statistics and Computational Methods successfully presents and updates the recent theoretical advances accompanied by examples and applications in simulation-based inferences. This book will be of practical use for many readers, particularly graduate students." Technometrics, February 2004

"An impressive team of 10 experts wrote this book's four informative chapters on modern computational methods in spatial statistics...Spatial Statistics and Computational Methods...enjoys the clarity of organization and exposition that would make it a suitable main reference for a graduate course in modern methods in spatial statistics." Journal of the American Statistical Association, September 2004

"I found this book to be a valuable contribution...MCMC and spatial statistics have undergone major development over the past ten years. The tutorials covered in this book capture some of these developments and present them in a manner that is accessible to the statistically minded scientific community." Environmetrics Newsletter, 2004

"...Provides the reader with a very good overview of MCMC methodology...it can serve as a reading material for a graduate course that discusses these topics...Well-written chapter[s]." Journal of Statsitical Software, April 2005

Reseña del editor

This volume shows how sophisticated spatial statistical and computational methods apply to a range of problems of increasing importance for applications in science and technology.
