Geostatistics – Handling Spatial and Spatial-temporal data Using R (GSFE01)
18th November 2019 - 22nd November 2019
£560.00
Event Date
Monday, November 18th, 2019
Course Format
This is a ‘LIVE COURSE’ – the instructor will be delivering lectures and coaching attendees through the accompanying computer practical’s via video link, a good internet connection is essential.
Course Program
TIME ZONE – UTC+2 – however all sessions will be recorded and made available allowing attendees from different time zones to follow a day behind with an additional 1/2 days support after the official course finish date (please email oliverhooker@prstatistics.com for full details or to discuss how we can accommodate you).
Course Details
This 5-day course will cover the concepts, methods, and R tools that can be used to analyse spatial and spatiotemporal data through Geostatistic. The course will review data processing techniques relevant to spatial and spatiotemporal data sets. Following, we will cover spatial interpolation methods such as inverse distance weighted interpolation as well as simple, ordinary and universal kriging, sequential Gaussian (co)simulation and sequential indicator (co)simulation. Through these different interpolation methods, we will learn about the different types of variograms and variogram models including directional and omnidirectional variograms. As advance topic, depending on time and interest, we will discuss about spatial modelling of stream networks using \texttt{SSN} and spatial and spatiotemporal modelling of large data using \texttt{INLA}.

Dr. Antoine Becker-Scarpitta
Works at – University of Helsink
Teaches – Multivariate analysis of ecological communities in R with the VEGAN package (VGNR03)
Antoine is a plant community ecologist working as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki and as a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Botany of the Academy of the Czech Republic. Antoine holds a degree in Conservation Biology from the University of Paris-Sud-Orsay, and from the Natural History Museum of Paris, he obtained his PhD in Biology/Ecology from the University of Sherbrooke (Canada).
