Opis

This book is designed to make spatio-temporal modeling and analysis understandable to students and researchers, mathematicians and statisticians and practitioners in the applied sciences. By avoiding hardcore math and calculus, this book aims to be a bridge that removes the statistical knowledge gap from among the applied scientists.
