The State of Spatial and Spatio-Temporal Statistical Modeling

The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of how statistical analyses have been used for studying ecological processes on landscapes and where the field of statistics is headed in general. Various approaches to the statistical analysis of spatial and spatio-temporal problems are presented and discussed; also, references for several suggested readings, containing further information and examples, are provided at the end of each section.
