Advanced Spatial Modeling with Stochastic Partial Differential Equations Using R and INLA

Product Description Modeling spatial and spatio-temporal continuous processes is an important and challenging problem in spatial statistics. Advanced Spatial Modeling with Stochastic Partial Differential Equations Using R and INLA describes in detail the stochastic partial differential equations (SPDE) approach for modeling continuous spatial processes with a Matérn covariance, which has been implemented using the integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) in the R-INLA package. Key concepts about modeling spatial processes and the SPDE approach are explained with examples using simulated data and real applications.This book has been authored by leading experts in spatial statistics, including the main developers of the INLA and SPDE methodologies and the R-INLA package. It also includes a wide range of applications:* Spatial and spatio-temporal models for continuous outcomes* Analysis of spatial and spatio-temporal point patterns* Coregionalization spatial and spatio-temporal models* Measurement error spatial models* Modeling preferential sampling* Spatial and spatio-temporal models with physical barriers* Survival analysis with spatial effects* Dynamic space-time regression* Spatial and spatio-temporal models for extremes* Hurdle models with spatial effects* Penalized Complexity priors for spatial modelsAll the examples in the book are fully reproducible. Further information about this book, as well as the R code and datasets used, is available from the book website at http://www.r-inla.org/spde-book.The tools described in this book will be useful to researchers in many fields such as biostatistics, spatial statistics, environmental sciences, epidemiology, ecology and others. Graduate and Ph.D. students will also find this book and associated files a valuable resource to learn INLA and the SPDE approach for spatial modeling. Review "Besides the epidemiological perspective, they have also tried to address many of the applied issues in disease mapping practice, which may make this book different from others previously published on this topic. To further facilitate understanding, the authors have made all code and data used in their examples available. A GitHub repository has also been created for hosting the book’s online supplementary material. Thus, one can make use of the functionalities that GitHub deploys for their repositories, such as highlighting points to be clarified by the authors. As a great novelty of the book, the online material may enable readers to have direct access to most of the statistical/computing details that there is not enough room to fully explain within the book." ~Sada Nand Dwivedi, ICSB News About the Author Elias T. Krainski is a Professor Adjunto in the Department of Statistics, Universidade Federal do Paraná (Curitiba, Brazil). He has been working on new space-time models and applications in epidemiology and fisheries with INLA and SPDE.Virgilio Gómez-Rubio is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (Albacete, Spain). His research interests are on Bayesian inference, spatial statistics and computational statistics. He has also developed several packages for the R language on spatial data analysis and Bayesian computation.Haakon Bakka is a Post Doctoral Fellow at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology. He has given many courses in both INLA and the SPDE approach, and parts of his research on spatial models are included in this book.Amanda Lenzi is a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia, where she is part of the Spatio-Temporal Statistics and Data Science Group.

"In his debut collection, School for the Blind, Daniel Simpson offers us a glimpse into the world of the blind with its attendant dangers, drop-offs, obstructions, cruelties and abandonments. Yet, here is also a world where kindnesses abound, where gestures of love by strangers and friends, alike, help to anchor the body and reconcile it to its place on earth. What is wholly surprising, as we read through the collection, is our confusion of who is blind and who is sighted. So many of the poems offer us an unusual sense of the world, a more intimate way of seeing it without the familiar visual signposts, a knowledge of it through heart and feel that the sighted can only imagine. 'Most people don’t realize,' Simpson declares in one poem, 'that I’m listening to them breathe, / that I hear body language.' What a subtle and crucial way of being in tandem with others! This is what Daniel Simpson’s poetry schools us to do, connecting us in invisible yet palpable ways to one another, through a second sight, a deeper measure." -- Gregory Djanikian, Director of the Creative Writing Program, University of Pennsylvania, and author of six poetry collections, most recent ly, Dear Gravity

A succinct, approachable guide to the origins, development, key texts, concepts, and practices of yoga. Yoga is practiced by many millions of people worldwide and is celebrated for its mental, physical, and spiritual benefits. And yet, as Daniel Simpson reveals inThe Truth of Yoga, much of what is said about yoga is misleading. For example, the word "yoga" does not always mean union. In fact, in perhaps the discipline's most famous text--the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali--its aim is described as separation: isolating consciousness from everything else. And yoga is not five thousand years old, as is commonly claimed; the earliest evidence of practice dates back about twenty-five hundred years. (Yoga may well be older, but no one can prove it.) The Truth of Yoga is a clear, concise, and accessible handbook for the lay reader that draws upon abundant recent scholarship. It outlines these new findings with practitioners in mind, highlighting ways to keep traditions alive in the twenty-first century.

"The poems in Border Songs," writes notable memoirist and poet, Stephen Kuusisto, "offer more than a conversation between poets: they’re conversant, knowledgeable, informed by eros, loss, delight, curiosity, and intimate wisdom." In this collection, Ona Gritz and Daniel Simpson create a dialogue in poems that surveys the borders between connection and longing, having and lacking, believing and doubting, and living and dying. "That these voices, against the odds, have found one another is a sort of miracle," says award winning poet, Renee Ashley. "That they are harmonious and comforting speaks volumes of our larger humanity and of our singular loves."

Ever dreamed of changing the world? Daniel Simpson shows how not to do it.His memoir charts a gonzo career at The New York Times. Ambitious and idealistic, he was hired to report on the Balkans but quit within months, freaked out by his editor's zeal for starting wars. Disillusioned, Daniel went native in Belgrade. Together with the charismatic G, who'd appeared one night in lavish puffs of dope smoke, he decided to organize Serbia's version of Woodstock: a festival on an island in the Danube.Music could revolutionize the country. It was run by a wartime mafia, and most young people dreamed of leaving. But what if they made it Ibiza crossed with Glastonbury? To fund this transition, they hustled Daniel's contacts, but shady local businessmen had other ideas. Mr Big muscled in, and embroiled them with his henchmen.Why do good intentions go awry? With brutally honest humor, Daniel recounts his journey to the edge, and a desperate drug-fuelled quest for the truth. A Rough Guide To The Dark Side is a real-life trip through Balkan organized crime. More irreverent than McMafia, it has the vicarious kicks of Mr Nice and Shantaram, in the travelogue style of Bill Bryson or Tony Hawks, but with added bile and an overdose of hubris.
