The book provides a comprehensive overview of the varying types of spatial data, and detailed explanations of the theoretical concepts of spatial statistics, alongside fully reproducible examples which demonstrate how to simulate, describe, and analyze spatial data in various applications. Combining theory and practice, the book includes real-world data science examples such as disease risk mapping, air pollution prediction, species distribution modeling, crime mapping, and real state analyses. The book utilizes publicly available data and offers clear explanations of the R code for importing, manipulating, analyzing, and visualizing data, as well as the interpretation of the results. This ensures contents are easily accessible and fully reproducible for students, researchers, and practitioners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes R packages for retrieval, manipulation, and visualization of spatial data.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers a comprehensive overview of spatial statistical methods including spatial autocorrelation, clustering, spatial interpolation, model-based geostatistics, and spatial point processes.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides detailed explanations on how to fit and interpret Bayesian spatial models using the integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) and stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) approaches.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaula Moraga\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Statistics at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). She received her Master's in Biostatistics from Harvard University and her Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Valencia. Dr. Moraga develops innovative statistical methods and open-source software for spatial data analysis and health surveillance, including R packages for spatio-temporal modeling, detection of clusters, and travel-related spread of disease. Her work has directly informed strategic policy in reducing the burden of diseases such as malaria and cancer in several countries. Dr. Moraga has published extensively in leading journals, and serves as an Associate Editor of the \u003ci\u003eJournal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A\u003c\/i\u003e. She is the author of the book \u003ci\u003eGeospatial Health Data: Modeling and Visualization with R-INLA and\u003c\/i\u003e Shiny (Chapman \u0026amp; Hall\/CRC). Dr. Moraga received the prestigious Letten Prize for her pioneering research in disease surveillance, and her significant contributions to the development of sustainable solutions for health and environment globally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"CRC Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50401238253842,"sku":"9781032633510","price":114.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_9f57c969-90bd-4c89-8f2b-a7c2703eef6b.jpg?v=1729127727","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/spatial-statistics-for-data-science-theory-and-practice-with-r-9781032633510","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
