Trustonlymovement. Life happens at the level of events not of
words. Trust movement. A. Adler As its title suggests,the main goal
of this book is the development of advanced fu- tions for
field-based Temporal Geographical Information Systems (TGIS).These
fields may describe a variety of natural, epidemiological,
economical, and social phen- ena distributed across space and
time.Within such a framework,the book makes an attempt to establish
links between, (a) the currently conceived TGIS techniques, and (b)
the Bayesian maximum entropy (BME) techniques of Modern
Spatiotemporal G- statistics.This link could be vital for offering
significant improvements in the advanced functions of TGIS analysis
and modelling, as well as generating useful information in a
variety of real-world decision making and planning situations. To
achieve the above goals, the eight Chapters of the book are
organized around four main themes: Concepts, mathematical tools,
computer programs, and applications. In fact, the focus is mainly
on the step-by-step implementation of the compu- tional BME
approach and the extensive use of illustrative examples and
real-world applications.Indeed,because of the applied character of
the present book,no detailed theoretical explanations or
mathematical derivations are included. Instead,the reader is
referred to the earlier book by Christakos (Modern Spatiotemporal
Geostatistics, Oxford Univ.Press,New York, N.Y., 2000) for a
comprehensive presentation of these BME aspects.With this in mind,
the chapter-by-chapter organization of the book is described next.
