Model-based geostatistics
Conventional geostatistical methodology solves the problem of predicting the realized value of a linear functional of a Gaussian spatial stochastic process S x) based on observations Yi S xi Zi at sampling locations xi , where the Zi are mutually independent, zero-mean Gaussian random variables. We describe two spatial applications for which Gaussian distributional assumptions are clearly...
متن کاملModel-Based Randomized Methods for Global Optimization
We survey some randomized search methods for global optimization that are based on sampling from an underlying probability distribution “model” on the solution space. In this approach, the probability model is updated iteratively after evaluating the performance of the samples at each iteration. Such model-based methods include estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs), the cross-entropy met...
متن کاملNetwork analysis in public health: history, methods, and applications.
Network analysis is an approach to research that is uniquely suited to describing, exploring, and understanding structural and relational aspects of health. It is both a methodological tool and a theoretical paradigm that allows us to pose and answer important ecological questions in public health. In this review we trace the history of network analysis, provide a methodological overview of net...
متن کاملgeoR and geoRglm: Software for Model-Based Geostatistics
The packages geoR and geoRglm are contributed packages to the statistical software system R, implementing methods for model-based geostatistical data-analysis. In this paper we focus on the capabilities of the packages, the computational implementation and related issues, and indicate directions for future developments. geoR implements methods for Gaussian and transformed Gaussian models. The p...
متن کاملPublic and global engagement with global health.
2066 www.thelancet.com Vol 381 June 15, 2013 Global health is widely regarded as being grounded in public and global engagement. But much of the process of global health is dominated by Northern institutions, expert groups, think-tanks, high-level meetings, and the like. Indeed, the exponential growth of global health in the past decade may soon turn into terminal decline unless truly global an...
