Short Course: "Spatial Linear Models for Environmental Data"

Presented by Jay Ver Hoef, Dale Zimmerman, and Michael Dumelle

This full day (8:30 am - 5:00 pm) short course will be based on the book of the same name:

Hoef/p/book/9780367183349

Outline:
1. Introduction to spatial data, software, ESDA [Intro through Chapter 3 of the book]

2. OLS and GLS estimation, including spatial confounding [Chapters 4-5]
3. Various geostatistical and spatial weights models and variations such as anisotropy
[Chapters 6-7]
4. Likelihood-based estimation, including generalized linear mixed models [Chapter 8,
Section 12.6]
5. Spatial prediction (including block kriging, conditional simulation, etc.) [Chapter 9]
6. Sampling and spatial design-of-experiments [Chapters 10, 11]
