The book presents a general mathematical framework able to detect and to characterise, from a morphological and statistical perspective, patterns hidden in spatial data. The mathematical tools employed are Gibbs Markov processes, mainly marked point procesess with interaction, which permits us to reduce the complexity of the pattern. It presents the framework, step by step, in three major parts: modeling, simulation, and inference. Each of these parts contains a theoretical development followed by applications and examples.
Features
- Presents mathematical foundations for tackling pattern detection and characterisation in spatial data using marked Gibbs point processes with interactions
- Includes application examples from cosmology, environmental sciences, geology, and social networks
- Presents theoretical and practical details for the presented algorithms in order to be correctly and efficiently used
- Provides access to C++ and R code to encourage the reader to experiment and to develop new ideas
- Includes references and pointers to mathematical and applied literature to encourage further study
Random Patterns and Structures in Spatial Data is primarily aimed at researchers in mathematics, statistics, and the above-mentioned application domains. It is accessible for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and thus could be used to teach a course. It will be of interest to any scientific researcher interested in formulating a mathematical answer to the always challenging question: what is the pattern hidden in the data?

About the Author
Radu S. Stoica is a full professor in mathematics at the University of Lorraine, France. His research activity connects stochastic geometry, spatial statistics, and Bayesian inference for probabilistic modeling and statistical description of random structures and patterns. The results of his work consist of tailored to the data methodologies based on Gibbs Markov models, Monte Carlo algorithms, and inference procedures, which can characterise and detect structures and patterns either hidden or directly observed in the data. The tackled application domains are astronomy, geosciences, image analysis, and network sciences. Prior to his current position, Dr. Stoica was an associate professor at University of Lille, France. He also worked as a researcher for INRAe Avignon, France, University Jaume I, Spain, and CWI Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Revaluation Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
