Wed 27th March 2013 at 11am. B33 Furness Building. Log-Gaussian Cox processes for fun and profit. Peter Diggle. This will be a non-technical talk in which I will first define the log-Gaussian Cox process and try to show, by examples, how useful it is. I will then suggest that the examples exemplify a general philosophy of statistical method that focuses on problems, rather than on methods or data-structures.
