Diffusion Smoothing for Spatial Point Patterns
نویسندگان
چکیده
Traditional kernel methods for estimating the spatially-varying density of points in a spatial point pattern may exhibit unrealistic artefacts, addition to familiar problems bias and over- or under-smoothing. Performance can be improved by using diffusion smoothing, which smoothing is heat on domain. This paper develops into practical statistical methodology two-dimensional data. We clarify advantages disadvantages over Gaussian smoothing. Adaptive where bandwidth spatially-varying, performed adopting rate: this avoids technical with adaptive has substantially better performance. introduce new form lagged arrival times, good performance robustness. Applications archaeology epidemiology are demonstrated. The implemented open-source R code.

Spatial Point Patterns
In looking at ecological processes, interest in the pattern of occurrences of species, e.g., the pattern of trees in a forest, say junipers and pinions. In spatial epidemiology, we seek to find pattern in disease cases, perhaps different patterns for cases vs. controls. Exple: breast cancer cases; treatment option mastectomy or radiation In syndromic surveillance we seek to identify disease out...
متن کاملSolutions of diffusion equation for point defects
An analytical solution of the equation describing diffusion of intrinsic point defects in semiconductor crystals has been obtained for a one-dimensional finite-length domain with the Robin-type boundary conditions. The distributions of point defects for different migration lengths of defects have been calculated. The exact analytical solution was used to verify the approximate numerical solutio...
متن کاملSpatial patterns and double diffusion in
Spatial ordering has been observed recently during various photochemical reactions. Convoluted concentration bands first appear near the surface of shallow irradiated solutions. They thereafter extend into the bulk, and finger-like structures spontaneously develop. We discuss here the possible role of double-diffusion effects in the onset of this phenomenon. Indeed, chemical reactions occurring...
متن کاملSpatial Smoothing
The size of the Gaussian kernel defines the "width" of the curve which determines in turn how much the data is smoothed. The width is not expressed in terms of the standard deviation ?, as customary in statistics, but with the Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM). In this case the FWHM would be 2.35: The maximum of this curve is y = 0.4 at x = 0. The half maximum is y = 0.2 at x = -1.175 and at x ...
