Revisiting Guerry’s data: Introducing spatial constraints in multivariate analysis

Bayesian Prediction in Spatial Data Analysis

Multivariate Spatial Statistical Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Perennial Crops

The advantages of using spatial analysis in annual crop experiments are well documented. There is much less evidence for perennial crops. For the sequence of measurements in perennial crops, apparently, there are no published articles in spatial analysis to date. This paper aimed at the comparison of several models, including auto-regressive, ante-dependence and character process models, in mod...

High dimensional data analysis using multivariate generalized spatial quantiles

High dimensional data routinely arises in image analysis, genetic experiments, network analysis, and various other research areas. Many such datasets do not correspond to well-studied probability distributions, and in several applications the data-cloud prominently displays non-symmetric and non-convex shape features. We propose using spatial quantiles and their generalizations, in particular, ...

Software Integration for Multivariate Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis

This paper describes a decade’s worth of evolution of integrating software to support exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) where there are multiple measured attributes. The multivariate graphics tools we use are XGobi, and more recently, GGobi. The paper is divided into two parts. In the first part, we review early experiments in software linking for ESDA, which used XGobi, different Geogra...

Proper multivariate conditional autoregressive models for spatial data analysis.

In the past decade conditional autoregressive modelling specifications have found considerable application for the analysis of spatial data. Nearly all of this work is done in the univariate case and employs an improper specification. Our contribution here is to move to multivariate conditional autoregressive models and to provide rich, flexible classes which yield proper distributions. Our app...
