Winter 2018

We meet on Mondays from 2:30-3:30 in Padelford C-301, which is the Statistics conference room. We will focus on the book "Statistics for Spatio-Temporal Data" by Cressie and Wikle (2011). In particular we plan to focus on dynamical spatio-temporal models. However, we will accommodate other people's interests if they would like to present on a different topic, such as for a paper or software related to spatial-temporal applications.

The following is the current schedule of topics and presenters. We will continue the sign up process over the first few meetings of the quarter.
