Assessing the covariance function in geostatistics
In geostatistics, one of the crucial problems is the choice of the covariance function. In this paper we show how to improve the cross-validation criterion, traditionally used for evaluating the /t of a covariance function, in the case of unequally spaced data. c © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

متن کاملCross-Covariance Functions for Multivariate Geostatistics
Continuously indexed datasets with multiple variables have become ubiquitous in the geophysical, ecological, environmental and climate sciences, and pose substantial analysis challenges to scientists and statisticians. For many years, scientists developed models that aimed at capturing the spatial behavior for an individual process; only within the last few decades has it become commonplace to ...
متن کاملVariance and Covariance Processes
In this section, we motivate the construction of variance and covariance processes for continuous local martingales, which is crucial in the construction of stochastic integrals w.r.t. continuous local martingales as we shall see. In this section, unless otherwise specified, we fix a Brownian motion Bt and a filtration {Ft} such that: 1. For each t, Bt is Ft-measurable. 2. For and s ≤ t, the ra...
متن کاملSpatial scaling in model plant communities.
We present an analytically tractable variant of the voter model that provides a quantitatively accurate description of Beta diversity (two-point correlation function) in two tropical forests. The model exhibits novel scaling behavior that leads to links between ecological measures such as relative species abundance and the species-area relationship.
متن کاملGeostatistics and spatial analysis in biological anthropology.
A variety of methods have been used to make evolutionary inferences based on the spatial distribution of biological data, including reconstructing population history and detection of the geographic pattern of natural selection. This article provides an examination of geostatistical analysis, a method used widely in geology but which has not often been applied in biological anthropology. Geostat...
