Abstract
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book discusses the basics of modeling for environmental processes, broadly reviewing stochastic modeling, hierarchical modeling, capturing uncertainty, model adequacy, and model comparison. It considers point patterns, offering basic theory and inference beginning with one dimensional models. The book focuses on point patterns in two dimensions, again with associated inference. It reviews data fusion, summarizing the literature from climatology. The book also focuses on techniques for environmental sampling. It provides a comprehensive overview of the most important and relevant topics in ecological statistics. The book presents an overview including models for individual species as well as models for more than one species. It analyses the vast field of capture-recapture and distance sampling methodology to estimate population abundance. The book also presents traditional as well state-of-the-art statistical methodology for modeling the structure and dynamics of biological populations.
