Complex Models and Computational Methods in Statistics 123

In this work we propose a novel unsupervised classification technique based on the estimation of nonlinear nonparametric mixed-effects models. The proposed method is an iterative algorithm that alternates a nonparametric EM step and a nonlinear Maximum Likelihood step. We apply this new procedure to perform an unsupervised clustering of longitudinal data in two different case studies.

Analysis of Drought Spatial Statistics in Iran

Drought is one of the environmental events and an inseparable part of climatic fluctuations. This phenomenon is one of the main characteristics of the various climates. Awareness of spatiotemporal behavior is effective in land planning. The spatial statistical methods provide the means by which they analyze the spatial patterns of random variables such as precipitation. In this study, using the...
