Bayesian analysis of linear spatio-temporal models
PhD Thesis Spatio-temporal models provide a mechanism for analysing data that occurs naturally in space and time such as pollution levels, functional magnetic resonance imaging data and temperature data. These models aim to capture the important features of the space time structure that can be overl...
