Nonparametric Evaluation of Dynamic Disease Risk: A Spatio-Temporal Kernel Approach
Quantifying the distributions of disease risk in space and time jointly is a key element for understanding spatio-temporal phenomena while also having the potential to enhance our understanding of epidemiologic trajectories. However, most studies to date have neglected time dimension and focus instead on the "average" spatial pattern of disease risk, thereby masking time trajectories of disease...
متن کاملBayesian Nonparametric Spatio-Temporal Models for Disease Incidence Data
Typically, disease incidence or mortality data are available as rates or counts for specified regions, collected over time. We propose Bayesian nonparametric spatial modeling approaches to analyze such data. We develop a hierarchical specification using spatial random effects modeled with a Dirichlet process prior. The Dirichlet process is centered around a multivariate normal distribution. Thi...
متن کاملNonparametric prediction of nonstationary spatio-temporal processes
In spatial statistics often the response variable at a given location and time is observed together with some covariates which are known to influence the response. In several applications the relationship between the response and covariates may be unknown, and to prevent misspecification of the model, a nonparametric approach could be appropriate. In this paper prediction and forecasting of the...
متن کاملA Model-Based Approach for Analog Spatio-Temporal Dynamic Forecasting
Analog forecasting has been applied in a variety of fields for predicting future states of complex nonlinear systems that require flexible forecasting methods. Past analog methods have almost exclusively been used in an empirical framework without the structure of a model-based approach. We propose a Bayesian model framework for analog forecasting, building upon previous analog methods but acco...
متن کاملSTCS-GAF: Spatio-Temporal Compressive Sensing in Wireless Sensor Networks- A GAF-Based Approach
Routing and data aggregation are two important techniques for reducing communication cost of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). To minimize communication cost, routing methods can be merged with data aggregation techniques. Compressive sensing (CS) is one of the effective techniques for aggregating network data, which can reduce the cost of communication by reducing the amount of routed data to t...
