This book provides an introduction to spatio-temporal design that
contains a description of one or two basic settings (e.g., migration
and biodiversity) that includes real data sets, data-generating mechanisms,
and possible simulation scenarios. Furthermore, the book provides
an overview of existing methodology, together with details of new
theoretical developments and some practical applications; and discusses
basic methods and distinguishes between design- and model-based approaches
to collecting space-time data. Data examples are featured, and the
same case studies are used throughout to demonstrate the different
approaches and their integration.
