Three Dimensional Covariance Functions: Real Data
نویسنده
چکیده
Height innovation data for a two-month period from NOGAPS was analyzed to obtain height prediction and observation error covariances. Different methods of weighting the data in least squares approximations were investigated using the second order autoregressive correlation function, both with and without an additive constant (varying with pressure level). Based on the properties of the derived covariance matrices and its parameters, the SOAR without an additive constant was used for the horizontal approximations. The vertical correlations were fit using a combination of SOAR plus an additive constant and a transformation of the logP coordinate to another coordinate to achieve a best fit. The resulting three dimensional approximation is partially separable, being the product of the horizontal covariance function (which depends on height) and the vertical correlation function. Figures demonstrating various aspects of the process and the results are given.

covariance functions for vector wind analyses using Doppler - radar radial - velocity observations
A two-dimensional form of cross-covariance function between the radar radialand tangential-components (with respect to the direction of radar beam) of background wind errors is derived. Like the previously derived auto-covariance function for the radial-component, this cross-covariance function is homogeneous but non-isotropic in the horizontal. The autoand cross-covariance functions are used w...

متن کاملEstimation of Genetic and Phenotypic Covariance Functions for Longitudinal Data
Covariance functions are the ‘infinite-dimensional’ equivalents to covariance matrices for longitudinal data, i.e. many, ‘repeated’ records per individual taken over a period of time. Their properties are reviewed and illustrated with a numerical example. Restricted Maximum Likelihood estimation of genetic and phenotypic covariance functions fitting an animal model is described.
متن کاملDirectly reconstructing principal components of heterogeneous particles from cryo-EM images.
Structural heterogeneity of particles can be investigated by their three-dimensional principal components. This paper addresses the question of whether, and with what algorithm, the three-dimensional principal components can be directly recovered from cryo-EM images. The first part of the paper extends the Fourier slice theorem to covariance functions showing that the three-dimensional covarian...
متن کاملON MAXWELL'S STRESS FUNCTIONS FOR SOLVING THREE DIMENSIONAL ELASTICITY PROBLEMS IN THE THEORY OF ELASTICITY
The governing equations of three dimensional elasticity problems include the six Beltrami-Michell stress compatibility equations, the three differential equations of equilibrium, and the six material constitutive relations; and these are usually solved subject to the boundary conditions. The system of fifteen differential equations is usually difficult to solve, and simplified methods are usual...
