Second-Order Analysis of the Spatio-temporal Distribution of Human Campylobacteriosis in Preston, Lancashire
We propose a method for analysing inhomogeneous spatio-temporal point process data by extending Baddeley’s et al. (2000) inhomogeneous K-function to the spatio-temporal setting. We develop a non-parametric estima...

Modelling the Bivariate Spatial Distribution of Amacrine Cells
We are interested in studying the spatial dependency between the positions of on and off cholinergic amacrine cells because we hope this will tell us something about how the two cell types emerge during develo...

Strain-ty** Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies Using Replicated Spatial Data
This chapter describes progress towards the development of more objective methods for discriminating between the neuropathological features produced by different TSE strains, in particular with respect to the ...

An Introduction to Model-Based Geostatistics
The term geostatistics identifies the part of spatial statistics which is concerned with continuous spatial variation, in the following sense. The scientific focus is to study a spatial phenomenon, s(x)say, which...

Analysing Positive-Valued Spatial Data: the Transformed Gaussian Model
The Gaussian assumption is often inappropriate for analysing geostatistical data. In such cases transformations can be used in an attempt to get nearly-Gaussian behaviour. In this paper we study the transforme...

Spatial and Longitudinal Data Analysis: Two Histories with a Common Future?
A historically oriented review of spatial and longitudinal data analysis is presented. It is argued that these two branches of statistical research developed separately for good historical reasons, but that th...

Introduction to Liang and Zeger (1986) Longitudinal Data Analysis Using Generalized Linear Models
Kung-Yee Liang and Scott Zeger have been colleagues in the Department of Biostatistics, Johns Hopkins University, since 1982. They received the Snedecor Award in 1987 for their methodological work on longitudi...

Comparing Estimated Spectral Densities Using GLIM
A test due to Coates and Diggle (1985) for comparing two estimated spectra is reformulated as a generalised linear model with gamma errors and logarithmic link. This provides an immediate extension to the case...
