Spatial and Longitudinal Data Analysis: Two Histories with a Common Future?

  • Conference paper
Modelling Longitudinal and Spatially Correlated Data

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Statistics ((LNS,volume 122))

Abstract

A historically oriented review of spatial and longitudinal data analysis is presented. It is argued that these two branches of statistical research developed separately for good historical reasons, but that their common foundation in the analysis of correlated data, coupled with modern computing developments has encouraged their convergence. Current research in generalized linear mixed models and, more generally, in highly structured stochastic systems, exemplifies this convergence.
