Expectation-maximization analysis of spatial time series

چکیده

Expectation maximization (EM) is used to estimate the parameters of a Gaussian Mixture Model for spatial time series data. The method is presented as an alternative and complement to Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis. The resulting weights, associating time points with component distributions, are used to distinguish physical regimes. The method is applied to equatorial Pacific sea surface temperature data from the TAO/TRITON mooring time series. Effectively, the EM algorithm partitions the time series into El Niño, La Niña and normal conditions. The EM method leads to a clearer interpretation of the variability associated with each regime than the basic EOF analysis.

A Bayesian Algorithm for Reconstructing Climate Anomalies in Space and Time. Part II: Comparison with the Regularized Expectation–Maximization Algorithm

Part I presented a Bayesian algorithm for reconstructing climate anomalies in space and time (BARCAST). This method involves specifying simple parametric forms for the spatial covariance and temporal evolution of the climate field as well as ‘‘observation equations’’ describing the relationships between the data types and the corresponding true values of the climate field. As this Bayesian appr...

A Sparse Spatial Linear Regression Model for fMRI Data Analysis

In this study we present an advanced Bayesian framework for the analysis of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data that simultaneously employs both spatial and sparse properties. The basic building block of our method is the general linear model (GML) that constitute a well-known probabilistic approach for regression. By treating regression coefficients as random variables, we can ap...

Expectation-based scan statistics for monitoring spatial time series data

We consider the simultaneous monitoring of a large number of spatially localized time series in order to detect emerging spatial patterns. For example, in disease surveillance, we detect emerging outbreaks by monitoring electronically available public health data, e.g. aggregate daily counts of Emergency Department visits. We propose a two-step approach based on the expectation-based scan stati...

Monte Carlo Expectation Maximization with Hidden Markov Models to Detect Functional Networks in Resting-State fMRI

We propose a novel Bayesian framework for partitioning the cortex into distinct functional networks based on resting-state fMRI. Spatial coherence within the network clusters is modeled using a hidden Markov randomfield prior. The normalized time-series data, which lie on a high-dimensional sphere, are modeled with a mixture of von Mises-Fisher distributions. To estimate the parameters of this ...
