Description The main purpose of this volume is to provide a new perception of multivariate environmental statistics using some examples that are of
concern and interest today. The papers are presented by outstanding research workers. They discuss the current state of the art in different
areas of multivariate environmental statistics and provide new problems for future research and instruction. A perspective is to cover
a broad spectrum of methods and issues involving multivariate observations and processes, and not just classical multivariate analysis.
The book will be valuable to current statistical theory and practice in this area, and will be used by researchers, teachers, and students
alike.
