The book collects the proceedings of the 19th International Workshop on Statistical Modelling held in Florence on July 2004. Statistical modelling is an important cornerstone in many scientific disciplines, and the workshop has provided a rich environment for cross-fertilization of ideas from different disciplines. It consists in four invited lectures, 48 contributed papers and 47 posters. The contributions are arranged in sessions: Statistical Modelling; Statistical Modelling in Genomics; Semi-parametric Regression Models; Generalized Linear Mixed Models; Correlated Data Modelling; Missing Data, Measurement of Error and Survival Analysis; Spatial Data Modelling and Time Series and Econometrics.

Abstract Hedonic models, commonly applied for analyzing prices in the property market, do not always fulfil their role, mainly due to the application of simplified assumptions concerning the distribution of variables, the nature of relations or spatial heterogeneity. Classical regression models assumed that the variation of the explained variable (price) is explained by the effect of market features (fixed effects) and the residual component. The hierarchical structure of market data, both as regards market segments and the spatial division, suggests that statistical models of prices should also include random effects for selected subgroups of properties and interactions between variables. The mixed model provides an alternative for constructing various regression models for individual groups or for using binary variables within one model. With its appropriate structure, it makes it possible to take into account both the spatial heterogeneity and to examine the effects of individual features on prices within various property groups. It can also identify synergy effects. The article presents the issue of mixed modelling in the property market and an example of its application in a market of dwellings in Olsztyn. The research used transaction data from the price and value register, supplemented with spatial data. The obtained model was compared with classical regression models and geographically weighted regression. The study also covered the usefulness of mixed models in the mass evaluation of properties, and the possibility of using them in spatial analyses and for the development of property value maps.

Space has long been acknowledged by researchers as a fundamental constraint which shapes our world. As technological changes have transformed the very concept of distance, the relative location and connectivity of geospatial phenomena have remained stubbornly significant in how systems function. At the same time, however, technology has advanced the science of geospatial simulation to bear on our understanding of how such systems work. While previous generations of scientists and practitioners were unable to gather spatial data or to incorporate it into models at any meaningful scale, new methodologies and data sources are becoming increasingly available to researchers, developers, users, and practitioners. These developments present new research opportunities for geospatial simulation.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The ISPRS Geospatial Week 2019 is a combination of 13 workshops organised by 30 ISPRS Working Groups active in areas of interest of ISPRS. The Geospatial Week 2019 is held from 10–14 June 2019, and is convened by the University of Twente acting as local organiser. The Geospatial Week 2019 is the fourth edition, after Antalya Turkey in 2013, La Grande Motte France in 2015 and Wuhan China in 2017.</p><p>The following 13 workshops provide excellent opportunities to discuss the latest developments in the fields of sensors, photogrammetry, remote sensing, and spatial information sciences:</p> <ul> <li>C3M&amp;amp;GBD – Collaborative Crowdsourced Cloud Mapping and Geospatial Big Data</li> <li>CHGCS – Cryosphere and Hydrosphere for Global Change Studies</li> <li>EuroCow-M3DMaN – Joint European Calibration and Orientation Workshop and Workshop onMulti-sensor systems for 3D Mapping and Navigation</li> <li>HyperMLPA – Hyperspectral Sensing meets Machine Learning and Pattern Analysis</li> <li>Indoor3D</li> <li>ISSDQ – International Symposium on Spatial Data Quality</li> <li>IWIDF – International Workshop on Image and Data Fusion</li> <li>Laser Scanning</li> <li>PRSM – Planetary Remote Sensing and Mapping</li> <li>SarCon – Advances in SAR: Constellations, Signal processing, and Applications</li> <li>Semantics3D – Semantic Scene Analysis and 3D Reconstruction from Images and ImageSequences</li> <li>SmartGeoApps – Advanced Geospatial Applications for Smart Cities and Regions</li> <li>UAV-g – Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Geomatics</li> </ul> <p>Many of the workshops are part of well-established series of workshops convened in the past. They cover topics like UAV photogrammetry, laser scanning, spatial data quality, scene understanding, hyperspectral imaging, and crowd sourcing and collaborative mapping with applications ranging from indoor mapping and smart cities to global cryosphere and hydrosphere studies and planetary mapping.</p><p>In total 143 full papers and 357 extended abstracts were submitted by authors from 63 countries. 1250 reviews have been delivered by 295 reviewers. A total of 81 full papers have been accepted for the volume IV-2/W5 of the International Annals of Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences. Another 289 papers are published in volume XLII-2/W13 of the International Archives of Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences.</p><p>The editors would like to thank all contributing authors, reviewers and all workshop organizers for their role in preparing and organizing the Geospatial Week 2019.

The kriging methodology can be applied to predict the value of a spatial variable at an unsampled location, from the available spatial data. Furthermore, additional information from secondary variables, correlated with the target one, can be included in the resulting predictor by using the cokriging techniques. The latter procedures require a previous specification of the multivariate dependence structure, difficult to characterize in practice in an appropriate way. To simplify this task, the current work introduces a nonparametric kernel approach for prediction, which satisfies good properties, such as asymptotic unbiasedness or the convergence to zero of the mean squared prediction error. The selection of the bandwidth parameters involved is also addressed, as well as the estimation of the remaining unknown terms in the kernel predictor. The performance of the new methodology is illustrated through numerical studies with simulated data, carried out in different scenarios. In addition, the proposed nonparametric approach is applied to predict the concentrations of a pollutant that represents a risk to human health, the cadmium, in the floodplain of the Meuse river (Netherlands), by incorporating the lead level as an auxiliary variable.
