This is an advanced course in models and methods for spatial data, with an emphasis on data which are not normally distributed. The course will cover different types of random spatial processes and how to incorporate them into mixed effects models for normal and non-Normal data, with maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference used for the two types of data respectively. Spatial point processes, where dare are random locations rather than measurements at fixed locations, will be dealt with extensively. Following the course, students will be able to undertake a variety of analyses on spatially dependent data, understand which methods are appropriate for various research questions, and interpret and convey results in the light of the original questions posed.
