Multivariate models of dependent spatial data

Abstract

There exists a sequence of stimulating overviews about (multivariate) data analysis and spatial problems (cf. Berry, 1971; Besag, 1975; Cliff and Ord, 1975; Cliff et al., 1975; Clark et al., 1974; Granger, 1975; Mather and Openshaw, 1974; Unwin and Hepple, 1974). Since I do not feel qualified enough in spatial analysis to add another paper to this admirable list, I have attempted a rather more limited topic: multivariate data analysis in situations where the observations cannot be assumed to be independent.
