Objective

The international Summer School addresses most of all to young researchers (Master students, PhD students, PostDoc researchers) in academie, extra-universitary research and industry, who are interested to learn about recent developments, new methods and applications in spatial statistics and related areeas and to exchange their ideas and results with colleagues. This Summer School will provide a series of lectures given by internationally renowned experts. It will include the following

Main Topics

Spatial Design (W. Mueller, Linz)
MCMC Methods (Ch. Robert, Paris)
Bayes Maximum Entropy Methods (G. Christakos, San Diego)
Spartan Random Fields Modelling (D. Hristopulos, Chania)
Gaussian Markov Random Fields Modeling and Applications (H. Rue, Trondheim)
Recent Developments in spatio-temporal Geostatistics (T. Gneiting, Washington, M. Schlather, Hamburg)
Spatial Point Processes and Applications in Ecology and Epidemiology (R. Waagepetersen, Aalborg)
Geostatistical Simulation (Ch. Lantuejoul, Fontainebleau)
Data Assimilation (D. Cornford, Aston)

The Summer School will be continued by the Third International Workshop StatGIS 07 (Details will be available next year).
