Statistical Analysis and Modelling of Spatial Point Patterns

"It adopts an extremely accessible style, allowing the non-statistician complete understanding, describes the process of extracting knowledge from the data, emphasizing marked point processes, demonstrates the analysis of complex data sets, using applied examples from areas including biology, forestry, and materials science, and features a supplementary website containing example datasets. This text is ideally suited for researchers in many areas of applications, including environmental statistics, ecology, physics, material science, geostatistics, and biology. It is also suitable for students of statistics, mathematics, computer science, biology and geoinformatics." (Zentralblatt Math, 2010)

"Statistical Analysis and Modelling of Spatial Point Patterns is an extremely well-written book and is accessible to a wide audience, including both applied statisticians and researchers from other fields with a reasonably sophisticated background in statics." (Journal of the American Statistical Association, September 2010)“The book presents statistical methods that are relevant in practice, focusing on traditional methods, in particular those based on summary statistics, but also more recent models and methods are briefly discussed. ”(Biometrics , September 2009)

"The book is a useful addition to Wiley's series Statistics in Practice." (Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, February 2009)

"The abstract flavor this brings to the subject means that methods may have very wide applicability over different application domains. This applicability, in turn, is reflected by the large number of interesting examples described in the book. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the area."
