Objectius del curs: The course will focus on analyzing and modeling spatial data, with applications that include the environmental and ecological sciences, plant and animal sciences, and epidemiology. This course will focus on methods, although some discussions of theoretical matters will also arise.

Temari:We will devote the first session to provide an overview of spatial point processes and methods for lattice data and spend the remaining of the course to geostatistics.
