> TITLE: Non-Gaussian Spatial Models for Flocculated Paper
> .
>
> ABSTRACT:
> The talk will describe a class of models motivated by on-line
> quality control in the paper-making industry. Paper is characterised
> by flocs, or aggregations of wood fibres, as opposed to evenly
> distributed fibres. Here flocs are modelled as bivariate pdfs with
> random centres. The model covariance function and spectrum are
> derived for several choices of floc shape. Likelihood-based inference
> is performed in the frequency domain.
