GEOSTAT is where statistical computing meets geographical analysis

Lecturers: Roger Bivand; Edzer Pebesma; Gerard Heuvelink; Olaf Conrad; Markus MetzTomislav Hengl; Victor Olaya Ferrero

We arrived on Sunday to a small historic city in the hearth of the Iberian peninsula. It was hot night in Plasencia as usual, but it was an unusual sight for the restaurant staff at the terrace bar near the Campus of Plasencia who suddenly had to serve a large group of foreigners. “Who are these people?” must have crossed the mind of the skilled waitress that had to serve us large quantities of ice cold beer and Mediterranean food (she managed to carry six glasses of beer at once – just like at the Oktoberfest). The answer she could not know.

In my talk I will try to give some ideas on how to use parallel computing for the analysis of spatial data. In particular, I will start with some simple examples based on checking sp-objects, universal block kriging and the detection of disease clusters. Finally, I will describe how a full parallel algorithm can be designed and implemented for Bayesian inference using spatial models.
