DESCRIPTION:Geostatistics is a branch of spatial statistics in which a maj
 or objective is to model a continuously-varying quantity sampled at a disc
 rete set of geographical locations.  Positional error occurs when these lo
 cations cannot be measured precisely.  This talk will introduce the subjec
 t of geostatistics\, and describe the effect that positional error has on 
 inference\, drawing analogies with measurement error in linear and non-lin
 ear modelling.  The implications of the results on a range of applications
  in spatial and environmental epidemiology will be discussed.\n
