2 STK Intro 2 Spatial processes Typically correlation between nearby sites Mostly positive correlation Negative correlation when competition Typically part of a space-time process Temporal snapshot Temporal aggregation Statistical analysis Incorporate spatial dependence into spatial statistical models Relatively new in statistics, active research field!

3 STK Intro 3 Hierarchical (statistical) models Data model Process model In time series setting - state space models

4 STK Intro 4 Hierarchical (statistical) models Data model Process model In time series setting - state space models Example Y t =αy t 1 + W t, t = 2, 3,... Z t =βy t + η t, t = 1, 2, 3,... W t ind (0, σ 2 W ) η t ind (0, σ 2 W ) Process model Data model We will do similar type of modelling now, separating the process model and the data model: Z(s i ) = Y (s i ) + ε(s i ), ε(s i ) iid

5 STK Intro 5 Prediction Typical aim: Observed Z = (Z(s 1 ),..., Z(s m )) Want to predict Y (s 0 ) Squared error loss function: Optimal E(Y (s 0 ) Z) Empirical methods: E(Y (s 0) Z) E(Y (s 0) Z, ˆθ) Bayesian methods: E(Y (s 0) Z) = θ E(Y (s0) Z, θ)p(θ Z)dθ Require E(Y (s 0 ) Z, θ) Z Y are independent, but dependent marginally Require model for {Y (s)}

6 Geostatistical models Assume {Y (s)} is a Gaussian process (Y (s 1 ),..., Y (s m )) is multivariate Gaussian for all m and s 1,..., s m Need to specify µ(s) = E(Y (s)) C Y (s, s ) = cov(y (s), Y (s )) Usually assume 2. order stationarity: µ(s) = µ, s C Y (s, s ) = C Y ( s s ), s, s Possible extension: µ(s) = x(s) T β Often: Z(s i ) Y (s i ), σε 2 ind.gau(y (s i ), σε) 2

7 STK Intro 7 Prediction (Z(s 1 ),..., Z(s m ), Y (s 0 )) is multivariate Gaussian Can use rules about conditional distributions: ( ) (( ) ( )) X1 µ1 Σ11 Σ MVN, 12 X 2 µ 2 Σ 21 Σ 22 Need E(X 2 X 1 ) =µ 1 + Σ 12 Σ 1 22 (X 2 µ 2 ) var(x 2 X 1 ) =Σ 11 Σ 12 Σ 1 22 Σ 21 Expectations: As for ordinary linear regression Covariances: New!

8 TK Intro 8 Variogram and covariance function Dependence can be specified through covariance functions Not always that such exist, but prediction can still be carried out More general concept: Variogram Note: 2γ Y (h) var[y (s + h) Y (s)] =var[y (s + h)] + var[y (s)] 2cov[Y (s + h), Y (s)] =2C Y (0) 2C Y (h) Variogram can exist even if var[y (s)] =! Often assumed in spatial statistics, thereby the use of variograms When 2γ Y (h) = 2γ Y ( h ), we get an isotrophic variogram

9 Isotropic covariance functions/variograms Matern covariance function C Y (h; θ) = σ1{2 2 θ2 1 Γ(θ 2 )} 1 { h /θ 1 } θ2 K θ2 ( h /θ 1 ) Powered-exponential C Y (h; θ) = σ1 2 exp{ ( h /θ 1 ) θ2 } Exponential C Y (h; θ) = σ1 2 exp{ ( h /θ 1 )} Gaussian C Y (h; θ) = σ1 2 exp{ ( h /θ 1 ) 2 }

10 TK Intro 10 Bochner s theorem A covariance function needs to be positive definite Theorem (Bochner, 1955) If C Y (h) dh <, then a valid real-valued covariance function can be written as C Y (h) = cos(ω T h)f Y (ω)dω where f Y (ω) 0 is symmetric about ω = 0. f Y (ω): Spectral density of C Y (h).

11 Nugget effect and Sill We have C Z (h) =cov[z(s), Z(s + h)] =cov[y (s) + ε(s), Y (s + h) + ε(s + h)] =cov[y (s), Y (s + h)] + cov[ε(s), ε(s + h)] =C Y (h) + σεi 2 (h = 0) Assume Then C Y (0) =σy 2 lim [C Y (0) C Y (h)] =0 h 0 C Z (0) = σy 2 + σε 2 lim [C Z (0) C Z (h)] = σε 2 = c 0 h 0 Possible to include nugget effect also in Y -process. Sill Nugget effect TK Intro 11

13 STK Intro 13 Estimation of variogram/covariance function 2γ Z (h) var[z(s + h) Z(s)] Const expectation = E[Z(s + h) Z(s)] 2 Can estimate from all pairs having distance h between. Problem: Few/no pairs for all h Simplifications γ Z (h) = γ 0 Z ( h ) Use 2 γ 0 Z (h) = ave{(z(s i) Z(s j )) 2 ; s i s j T (h)} If covariates, use residuals

14 Boreality data Empirical variogram: Boreality data

15 STK Intro 15 Testing for independence If independence: γ 0 Z (h) = σ2 Z Test-statistic F = γ Z (h 1 )/ σ 2 Z, h 1 smallest observed distance Reject H 0 for F 1 large Permutation test: Recalculate F for all permutations of Z If observed F is above 97.5% percentile, reject H 0 Boreality example: P-value =

16 Kriging = Prediction Model Y =Xβ + δ Z =Y + ε Prediction of Y (s 0 ) Linear predictors {L T Z + k} Optimal predictor minimize MSPE(L, k) E[Y (s 0 ) L T Z k] 2 =var[y (s 0 ) L T Z k] + {E[Y (s 0 ) L T Z k]} 2 Note: Do not assume any distributional assumptions

17 Kriging MSPE(L, k) =var[y (s 0 ) L T Z k] + {E[Y (s 0 ) L T Z k]} 2 =var[y (s 0 ) L T Z k] + {µ Y (s 0 ) L T µ z k]} 2 Second term is zero if k = µ Y (s 0 ) L T µ Z. First term (c(s 0 ) = cov[z, Y (s 0 )]) var[y (s 0 ) L T Z k] =C Y (s 0, s 0 ) 2L T c(s 0 ) + L T C Z L Derivative wrt L T : giving 2c(s 0 ) + 2C Z L = 0 L = C 1 Z c(s 0) Y (s 0 ) =µ Y (s 0 ) + c(s 0 ) T C 1 Z [Z µ Z ] MSPE(L, k ) =C Y (s 0, s 0 ) c(s 0 ) T C 1 Z c(s 0)

18 Kriging c(s 0 ) =cov[z, Y (s 0 )] =cov[y, Y (s 0 )] =(C Y (s 0, s 1 ),..., C Y (s 0, s m )) =c Y (s 0 ) C Z ={C Z (s i, s j )} { C Y (s i, s i ) + σ 2 C Z (s i, s j ) = ε, C Y (s i, s j ), s i = s j s i s j Y (s 0 ) = µ Y (s 0 ) + c Y (s 0 ) T C 1 Z (Z µ Z )

19 Gaussian assumptions Assume now Y, Z are MVN ( ) (( Z µz = MVN Y(s 0 ) µ Y (s 0 ) Give ) ( )) CZ c, Y (s 0 ) T c Y (s 0 ) C Y (s 0, s 0 ) Y (s 0 ) Z N(µ Y (s 0 ) + c(s 0 ) T C 1 Z [Z µ Z ], C Y (s 0, s 0 ) c(s 0 ) T C 1 Z c(s 0)) Same as kriging! The book derive this directly without using the formula for conditional distribution
