21 Some background Many processes of interest are naturally spatio-temporal. Frequently, quantities related to these processes are available as areal data. These processes may often be considered at several different levels of spatial resolution. Related work on dynamic spatio-temporal multiscale modeling: Berliner, Wikle and Milliff (1999), Johannesson, Cressie and Huang (2007).

22 Data Structure Here, the region of interest is divided in geographic subregions or blocks, and the data may be averages or sums over these subregions. Moreover, we assume the existence of a hierarchical multiscale structure. For example, each state in Brazil is divided into counties, microregions and macroregions.

24 Outline Motivation Multiscale factorization The multiscale spatio-temporal model Bayesian analysis Application: Agricultural Production in Espírito Santo Unknown multiscale structure Conclusions

25 Multiscale factorization At each time point we decompose the data into empirical multiscale coefficients using the spatial multiscale modeling framework of Kolaczyk and Huang (2001). See also Chapter 9 of Ferreira and Lee (2007). Interest lies in agricultural production observed at the county level, which we assume is the L th level of resolution (i.e. the finest level of resolution), on a partition of a domain S R 2. For the j th county, let y Lj, µ Lj = E(y Lj ), and σ 2 Lj = V (y Lj) respectively denote agricultural production, its latent expected value and variance.

26 Let D lj be the set of descendants of subregion (l, j). The aggregated measurements at the l th level of resolution are recursively defined by y lj = p l+1,j y l+1,j. (l+1,j ) D lj Analogously, the aggregated mean process is defined by µ lj = p l+1,j µ l+1,j. (l+1,j ) D lj Assuming conditional independence, σlj 2 = pl+1,j 2 σ2 l+1,j. (l+1,j ) D lj

27 Define σ 2 l = (σ 2 l1,..., σ2 ln l ), ρ l = p l σ 2 l, and Σ l = diag(σ 2 l ), where denotes the Hadamard product. Then with and y Dlj ylj, µ L, σ 2 L N(ν ljy lj + θ lj, Ω lj ), ν lj = ρ Dlj /σ 2 lj, θ lj = µ Dlj ν lj µ lj, Ω lj = Σ Dlj σ 2 lj ρ Dlj ρ D lj.

28 Consider θ e lj = y D lj ν lj y lj, which is an empirical estimate of θ lj. Then (Kolaczyk and Huang, 2001) θ e lj y lj, µ L, σ 2 L N(θ lj, Ω lj ), which is a singular Gaussian distribution (Anderson, 1984).

36 Empirical Bayes estimation of ν lj and Ω lj ν lj : vector of relative volatilities of the descendants of (l, j), Ω lj : singular covariance matrix of the empirical multiscale coefficient of subregion (l, j) In order to obtain an initial estimate of σlj 2, we perform a univariate time series analysis for each county using first-order dynamic linear models (West and Harrison, 1997). These analyses yield estimates σ Lj 2. Let ρ l = p l σ 2 l. We estimate ν lj and Ω lj by ν lj = ρ Dlj / σ 2 lj, Ω lj = Σ Dlj σ 2 lj ρ Dlj ρ D lj.

37 Posterior exploration Let θ lj = (θ 0lj,..., θ Tlj ), θ t j = (θ t1j,..., θ tlj ), θ = (θ 11,..., θ 1n 1, θ 21,..., θ 2n 2,..., θ L1,..., θ Ln L ), with analogous definitions for the other quantities in the model. It can be shown that, given σ 2, ξ, and ψ, the vectors µ 11,..., µ 1n1, θ 11,..., θ 1n1,..., θ L1,..., θ LnL, are conditionally independent a posteriori.

39 Singular FFBS 1. Use the singular forward filter to obtain the mean and covariance matrix of f (θ 1lj σ 2, ψ lj, D 1 ),..., f (θ Tlj σ 2, ψ lj, D T ): posterior at t 1: θ t 1,lj D t 1 N (m t 1,lj, C t 1,lj Ω lj ) ; prior at t: θtlj D t 1 N (a tlj, R tlj Ω lj ), where a tlj = m t 1,lj and R tlj = C t 1,lj + ψ lj ; posterior at t: θtlj D t N (m tlj, C tlj ( Ω lj ), where ) C tlj = (1 + R 1 tlj ) 1 and m tlj = C tlj θ e tlj + R 1 tlj a tlj. 2. Simulate θ Tlj from θ Tlj σ 2, ψ lj, D T N(m Tlj, C Tlj Ω lj ). 3. Recursively simulate θ tlj, t = T 1,..., 0, from θ tlj θ t+1,lj,..., θ Tlj, D T θ tlj θ t+1,lj, D t N(h tlj, H tlj Ω lj ), ( ) 1 where H tlj = C 1 tlj + ψ 1 lj and ( ) h tlj = H tlj C 1 tlj m tlj + ψ 1 lj θ t+1,lj.

40 Reconstruction of the latent mean process One of the main interests of any multiscale analysis is the estimation of the latent mean process at each scale of resolution. From the g th draw from the posterior distribution, we can recursively compute the corresponding latent mean process at each level of resolution using the equation µ (g) t,d lj = θ (g) tlj + ν tlj µ (g) tlj, proceeding from the coarsest to the finest resolution level. With these draws, we can then compute the posterior mean, standard deviation and credible intervals for the latent mean process.

45 Discrepancy measurement model Consider two subregions at the same level of resolution with observations y t1 and y t2 at time t, observational variances σ 2 1 and σ 2 2, and aggregation weights p 1 and p 2. We define the Discrepancy Measurement Model (DMM) by the dynamic linear model ( yt1 y t2 ( µt t ) ) = = ( p1 σ 2 1 /(p2 1 σ2 1 + p2 2 σ2 2 ) p 2 p 2 σ2 2/(p2 1 σ2 1 + p2 2 σ2 2 ) p 1 ) + w t, ( µt 1 t 1 ) ( µt t ) + v t, where v t N(0, V), w t N(0, W), V = diag(σ1 2, σ2 2 ), and W = diag(w µ, W ).

46 Relative discrepancy Consider the DMM model and two subregions at the same resolution level. We define the relative discrepancy between these two subregions as W /W µ.

47 Multiscale clustering algorithm 1. For each county, create a link to one of its neighbors which minimizes the estimated relative discrepancy. 2. Create intermediate-level clusters of counties. Counties are in the same cluster if and only if there is a path connecting them. 3. Obtain the data at the intermediate-level through aggregation. 4. Apply steps 1 and 2 to the intermediate-level clusters in order to obtain the coarse-level clusters. We illustrate the algorithm with a dataset on mortality in Missouri.

68 Conclusions New multiscale spatio-temporal model for areal data. Estimated multiscale coefficients shed light on similarities and differences between regions within each scale of resolution. Modeling strategy naturally respects nonsmooth transitions between geographic subregions. Our divide-and-conquer modeling strategy leads to computational procedures that are scalable and fast.
