Identification of Disease-related Spatial Covariance Patterns using Neuroimaging Data
Published on: June 26, 2013
Abstract:
Ecological variables often fluctuate synchronously over wide geographical areas, a phenomenon known as spatial autocorrelation or spatial synchrony. Development of statistical approaches designed to test for spatial autocorrelation combined with the increasing accessibility of long-term, large-scale ecological datasets are now making it possible to document the patterns and understand the causes of spatial synchrony at scales that were previously intractable. These developments promise to foster significant future advances in understanding population regulation, metapopulation dynamics and other areas of population ecology.
