Booknews
On statistical inference in spatial statistics and its applications (in computer vision, image processing, microscopy). Ripley shows how these techniques give new insights into classical procedures and newer statistical paradigms. He also stresses the importance of edge effects and of the lack of a unique asymptotic setting in spatial problems. The essay discusses the foundational issues posed and the difficulties, both computational and philosophical, which arise. Acidic paper. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
