Abstract
Aims: This module will introduce students to the statistical concepts and tools involved in modelling data which are correlated in time and/or space. Learning outcomes: By the end of the module, students should have achieved: • a clear understanding of the meaning of temporal and spatial correlation; • a good working knowledge of standard models to describe both the systematic and the random parts of an appropriate model; • the ability to implement and interpret these models in standard applications; • an understanding of some of the key concepts which lie at the heart of current research in this area; • appreciation of at least one substantial case study. Prerequisites: Preparation for this module should establish familiarity with: • standard models and tools for time series data, at the level of a typical undergraduate course on time series; • standard models and tools for spatial data at its simplest level; • inferential methods, including classical and Bayesian likelihood-based methods, to at
