1. Scalable Bayesian spatial analysis with Gaussian Markov random fields
Sammanfattning : Accurate statistical analysis of spatial data is important in many applications. Failing to properly account for spatial autocorrelation may often lead to false conclusions. LÄS MER
2. Spatial distribution and conservation planning of seabed biological diversity
Sammanfattning : Knowledge of spatial patterns of biota has become a commodity for conservation practitioners and spatial ecologists alike. This type of information enables the identification of representative and unique biological features (at some nominal scale) which itself constitutes the application par excellence of knowledge of biodiversity distribution as it relates to the design of reserve networks and the realization of spatial planning. LÄS MER
3. Classification of Remotely Sensed Data Utilising the Autocorrelation between Spatio-Temporal Neighbours
Sammanfattning : The subject of this thesis is methods for classifying land using satellite images, and adherent parameter estimation. A satellite image consists of a set of pixels where measurements of spectral intensities are observed. Based on these spectral intensities, each pixel is assigned a class. LÄS MER
4. On Specifying and Estimating Economic Growth as a Spatial Process : Convergence, Inequality, and Migration
Sammanfattning : This thesis includes three self-contained papers. The first paper considers the effect of geographically dependent observations on cross-sectional growth convergence and proposes a way of decomposing the level of technology taking into account geographical variation in growth rates. LÄS MER
5. Spatial Spillovers of Knowledge Production : An Accessibility Approach
Sammanfattning : The main focus of the thesis is on issues concerning production of knowledge. It is a common observation that knowledge activities have a tendency to agglomerate as well as to spill over in space. LÄS MER
