Geostatistics is concerned with estimation and prediction problems for spatially continuous phenomena, using data obtained at a limited number of spatial locations. This work focuses on model-based geostatistics. Analyses of datasets from a range of scientific contexts are featured, and simulations are used to illustrate theoretical results. «
