Workshop on Spatial Statistics
for Agricultural & Environmental Research Applications
A collaborative effort among statisticians at USDA/ARS, DOI/USFWS & DOI/USGS
March 15 & 16, 2006
USDA, Beltsville Agricultural Research Center
Beltsville, Maryland
Intended audience: Researchers that want an introduction to analyses that incorporate spatial information. These will not be overly technical presentations---we are aiming for understanding concepts. The workshop is designed for researchers at USDA/ARS, USGS, and USFW.
Topics:
- Characterizing spatial dependencies
- Kriging and other techniques for geostatistical data
- Spatial count data
- Point process data
- Experimental design for spatial data
- Diagnostics
- Combining multi-scale spatial data
- Lattice designs
- Software
Presentations:
- Keynote address: Jay Ver Hoef
- Topics will be presented by faculty
from various universities; USDA, USGS
USFW statisticians and scientists
- Fully explained examples will be given for
each topic
- Hard copies of all presentations will be
collected into a workshop manual and
