4 Opportunities and challenges in spatio-temporal data analysis Challenges in spatio-temporal data analysis Data sets often exhibit: missingness and misalignment among outcomes space- and time-varying impact of covariates complex residual dependence structures nonstationarity among multiple outcomes across locations unknown time and perhaps space lags between outcomes and covariates 4 Graduate Workshop on Environmental Data Analytics 2014

5 Opportunities and challenges in spatio-temporal data analysis Challenges in spatio-temporal data analysis Data sets often exhibit: missingness and misalignment among outcomes space- and time-varying impact of covariates complex residual dependence structures nonstationarity among multiple outcomes across locations unknown time and perhaps space lags between outcomes and covariates We seek modeling frameworks that: incorporate many sources of space and time indexed data accommodate structured residual dependence propagate uncertainty through to predictions scale to effectively exploit information in massive datasets 4 Graduate Workshop on Environmental Data Analytics 2014

6 Typical examples Discrete-time, continuous-space settings Data is viewed as arising from a time series of spatial processes. For example: US Environmental Protection Agency s Air Quality System which reports pollutants mean, minimum, and maximum at 8 and 24 hour intervals soil sensor array that measures moisture and CO 2 at 1 minute intervals climate model outputs of weather variables generated on hourly or daily intervals remotely sensed landuse/landcover change recorded at annual or decadal time steps 5 Graduate Workshop on Environmental Data Analytics 2014
