This book was released on 2006-09-02 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From environmental management to land planning and geo-marketing, the number of application domains that may greatly benefit from using data enriched with spatio-temporal features is expanding very rapidly. This book shows that a conceptual design approach for spatio-temporal databases is both feasible and easy to apprehend. While providing a firm basis through extensive discussion of traditional data modeling concepts, the major focus of the book is on modeling spatial and temporal information.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2013 DeGroot Prize. A state-of-the-art presentation of spatio-temporal processes, bridging classic ideas with modern hierarchical statistical modeling concepts and the latest computational methods Noel Cressie and Christopher K. Wikle, are also winners of the 2011 PROSE Award in the Mathematics category, for the book “Statistics for Spatio-Temporal Data” (2011), published by John Wiley and Sons. (The PROSE awards, for Professional and Scholarly Excellence, are given by the Association of American Publishers, the national trade association of the US book publishing industry.) Statistics for Spatio-Temporal Data has now been reprinted with small corrections to the text and the bibliography. The overall content and pagination of the new printing remains the same; the difference comes in the form of corrections to typographical errors, editing of incomplete and missing references, and some updated spatio-temporal interpretations. From understanding environmental processes and climate trends to developing new technologies for mapping public-health data and the spread of invasive-species, there is a high demand for statistical analyses of data that take spatial, temporal, and spatio-temporal information into account. Statistics for Spatio-Temporal Data presents a systematic approach to key quantitative techniques that incorporate the latest advances in statistical computing as well as hierarchical, particularly Bayesian, statistical modeling, with an emphasis on dynamical spatio-temporal models. Cressie and Wikle supply a unique presentation that incorporates ideas from the areas of time series and spatial statistics as well as stochastic processes. Beginning with separate treatments of temporal data and spatial data, the book combines these concepts to discuss spatio-temporal statistical methods for understanding complex processes. Topics of coverage include: Exploratory methods for spatio-temporal data, including visualization, spectral analysis, empirical orthogonal function analysis, and LISAs Spatio-temporal covariance functions, spatio-temporal kriging, and time series of spatial processes Development of hierarchical dynamical spatio-temporal models (DSTMs), with discussion of linear and nonlinear DSTMs and computational algorithms for their implementation Quantifying and exploring spatio-temporal variability in scientific applications, including case studies based on real-world environmental data Throughout the book, interesting applications demonstrate the relevance of the presented concepts. Vivid, full-color graphics emphasize the visual nature of the topic, and a related FTP site contains supplementary material. Statistics for Spatio-Temporal Data is an excellent book for a graduate-level course on spatio-temporal statistics. It is also a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners in the fields of applied mathematics, engineering, and the environmental and health sciences.

Book excerpt: This Festschrift volume, published in honor of John Mylopoulos on the occasion of his retirement from the University of Toronto, contains 25 high-quality papers, written by leading scientists in the field of conceptual modeling. The volume has been divided into six sections. The first section focuses on the foundations of conceptual modeling and contains material on ontologies and knowledge representation. The four sections on software and requirements engineering, information systems, information integration, and web and services, represent the chief current application domains of conceptual modeling. Finally, the section on implementations concentrates on projects that build tools to support conceptual modeling. With its in-depth coverage of diverse topics, this book could be a useful companion to a course on conceptual modeling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is common to assume the spatial or spatio-temporal data are realizations of underlying random fields or stochastic processes. Effective approaches to modeling of the underlying autocorrelation structure of the same random field and the association among multiple processes are of great demand in many areas including atmospheric sciences, meteorology and agriculture. To this end, this dissertation studies methods and application of the spatial modeling of large-scale dependence structure and spatio-temporal regression modelling. First, variogram and variogram matrix functions play important roles in modeling dependence structure among processes at different locations in spatial statistics. With more and more data collected on a global scale in environmental science, geophysics, and related fields, we focus on the characterizations of the variogram models on spheres of all dimensions for both stationary and intrinsic stationary, univariate and multivariate random fields. Some effcient approaches are proposed to construct a variety of variograms including simple polynomial structures. In particular, the series representation and spherical behavior of intrinsic stationary random fields are explored in both theoretical and simulation study. The applications of the proposed model and related theoretical results are demonstrated using simulation and real data analysis. Second, knowledge of the influential factors on the number of days suitable for fieldwork (DSFW) has important implications on timing of agricultural field operations, machinery decision, and risk management. To assess how some global climate phenomena such as El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) affects DSFW and capture their complex associations in space and time, we propose various spatio-temporal dynamic models under hierarchical Bayesian framework. The Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA) is used and adapted to reduce the computational burden experienced when a large number of geo-locations and time points is considered in the data set. A comparison study between dynamics models with INLA viewing spatial domain as discrete and continuous is conducted and their pros and cons are evaluated based on multiple criteria. Finally a model with time- varying coefficients is shown to reflect the dynamic nature of the impact and lagged effect of ENSO on DSFW in US with spatio-temporal correlations accounted.
