Multivariate spatio-temporal modelling

Dear list.

I've completed a spatial GLM analysis of a dataset with one outcome variable
(binomial) using geoRglm.  I now want to go on to extend this analysis in 2
ways: 1) incorporating a temporal element and 2) using a second (related)
outcome variable.

As far as I am aware, geoRglm doesn't have the functionality for
spatio-temporal modelling, or for multivariate modelling.  Is this correct?
for the job.

Can anyone give me a wee bit of advice as to whether spBayes could
potentially be right for what I want to do (or if there is anything else
which I could use)? Basically, I want to carry out spatio-temporal modelling
of joint distribution data for 2 related disease measures (will be disease
prevalence or counts in humans and animals). The outputs I want (if
possible) are estimates of covariate effects on both human and animal
disease, the relationship between human and animal disease and a
spatio-temporal prediction. 

Please forgive me if I use the wrong technical terms as my first analysis
with geoRglm was my first ever introduction to geostatistics and spatial
modelling...perhaps I am being overambitious!

Many thanks in advance,

Dear Nicola Batchelor:

I am also quite interested in spatiotemporal modeling, specifically 
spatiotemporal regression analysis. I am not quite sure whether this 
would help, but I am developing a "geographically weighted panel 
regression" method combining both spgwr and plm packages. The 
development is in a very early stage. If you are interested and more 
importantly, if you are looking for a regression-like analysis, we might 
be able to discuss further for the codes and relevant information.

Best,
Danlin

Hi Danlin,

Thanks.  If Im honest I don't know much about GWR and also I'm rubbish at
coding (I come from an epidemiology background, not spatial analysis), so
ideally for me whichever package I use will have lots of instructions!  

At the moment I'm just putting together a grant proposal so I just wanted to
make sure that it is possible to do what I want to do, but it seems like it
is possible.  I'll talk with my supervisor about the methods and let him
know about the possibility of a geographically weighted panel regression and
see what he thinks.

Thanks again,
Nicola
