Modern Spatiotemporal Geostatistics (MSG) |
Since the early Nineties, Modern Spatiotemporal Geostatistics (MSG) has emerged has a scientific discipline that arises from the advancement of the ontological and epistemic status of stochastic analysis (Christakos, 2000, p. 15). Its most famous representative, the Bayesian Maximum Entropy approach, has been the subject of numerous publications in the last ten years. In order to help you find the most interesting publications with respect to your own field of interest or simply to give you an idea of the potential of BME, we have listed here all the publications about MSG, including all the BME publications.
You can see all the publications sorted either by alphabetical order, by date, by research team or by subject.
For the readers interested in the fundamental concepts of MSG and BME, you can glance through the list of introductory documents and PhD dissertations.
You can also have a look at the list of the non-MSG publications by the BMElab and UCL-Environmetry research teams.
Books are preceded by ,
PhD dissertations by PhD.
This page is maintained by Marie-Aline Wibrin. Feel free to contact her for any comment or suggestion, or to contribute your own BME papers!
