Learning Resources Spatial Regression Models from the ground up

Hey folks,

I'm hoping to build up my knowledge around spatial regression techniques
from the ground up?e.g. I'm not interested in R-INLA or other exceptionally
complex techniques.

I'm hoping this listserv has some recommendations for what readings /
models I should prioritize learning about in, possibly, an opinionated
order.

At the moment I've purchased "Modern Spatial Econometrics in Practice" by
Luc Anselin and Sergio Rey and will try to work through that. But if there
are additional resources that folks recommend that are friendly for the
not-so-math-inclined, I'd love to have a look at them!

The Spatial Regression section of the R-spatial book (
https://r-spatial.org/book/16-SpatialRegression.html) is good but with less
handholding than I might need.

I've found the following very helpful over the years:

Geographic Information Analysis, by David O'Sullivan and David Unwin

Spatial Point Patterns, by Adrian Baddeley, Ege Rubak, and Rolf Turner

Applied Spatial Data Analysis with R, by Roger Bivand, Edzer Pebesma,
and Virgilio Gomez-Rubio

Statistical Analysis of Spatial and Spatio-Temporal Point Patterns

The last 3 are, as the titles imply, focused specifically on spatial
point patterns. The first is a bit more general, including methods for
areal data.

I listed them in increasing order (in my opinion) of mathemtical complexity.

Thank you, Chris! I can take a look at the first resource. At the moment my
interest is specifically in spatial econometric models and less so about
point patterns (for the time being).

More conceptually advanced, at least look at figure 1: Golgher, A. B., &
Voss, P. R. (2016). How to Interpret the Coefficients of Spatial Models:

Please also consider:

@book{lesage+pace:09,
   author={James P. {LeSage} and R. Kelley Pace},
   title={Introduction to Spatial Econometrics},
   year={2009},
   publisher={Chapman and Hall/CRC},
   address={Boca Raton FL}
}

which provides the underpinnings to Golgher & Voss just suggested by Dexter. A good deal has been going on recently, both about spillovers, and very recent work by Bera & Koley on Rao score tests (aka Lagrange multiplier tests). I have some notes but no recording from recent lectures, so the notes are skeletal at best: https://rsbivand.github.io/PG_AGII_2sem/. In SDSr, my focus was on pointing up the topics areas where spatial econometrics could very well benefit from the much larger community in disease mapping and in ecology. In both of these broad communities, the dependent variable is often discrete, and both of these draw lots of maps. I haven't yet got Modelling Spatial and Spatial-Temporal Data: A Bayesian Approach by Haining & Li, and expect it to be useful.

Hope this helps,

Roger

Renato, friends,

This repo: https://github.com/rsbivand/kk_spatial_book has updated code for Katarzyna Kopczwska's book to work after rgdal etc. were retired. I used it in a talk last November which explains what is going on - please contact me if you'd like a copy of the slides.

https://a.co/d/1gF4NTE Bayesian Analysis for the Social Sciences by Simon Jackman m. He deep dives into the philosophy behind both probability axioms of finite (Kolgomorov) and countable (de Finetti) perspectives. His take on Bayes vs frequentist is a gem! He also clarifies the most severe shortcoming on the frequentist approach: that mixed modal priors cannot produce mixed modal posteriors ? Regards, Rudy Banerjee
