[Openspace] thoughts on spatial logistic regression

[Guangqing Chi]

Hi All,

Many colleagues have offered suggestions on conducting spatial logistic 
regression analysis. I wish to thank you all for your assistance. While 
existing and proposed approaches have different strengths and limitations, 
I would tend to employ the MCMC within a multilevel context. It can be done 
in R, S+, MLWin, and MATLAB. More suggestions and opinions are attached. 
Please also see the articles recommended by colleagues in the following.

Spatial Data Analysis and Prediction." Journal of Agricultural, Biological, 
and Environmental Statistics. Vol. 2, 2, pp. 157-78.

Lattice Systems." J. R. Stat. Soc., B 36, 192-236.
