Visualization of Covariance and Cross-covariance Fields

چکیده
We present a numerical technique to visualize covariance and cross-covariance fields of a stochastic simulation. The method is local in the sense that it demonstrates the covariance structure of the solution at a point with its neighboring locations. When coupled with an efficient stochastic simulation solver, our framework allows one to effectively concurrently visualize both the mean and (cross-)covariance information for two-dimensional (spatial) simulation results. Most importantly, the visualization provides the scientist a means to identify the interesting correlation structure of the solution field. The mathematical setup is discussed, along with several examples to demonstrate the efficacy of this approach.

Cross-covariance functions for multivariate random fields based on latent dimensions
The problem of constructing valid parametric cross-covariance functions is challenging. We propose a simple methodology, based on latent dimensions and existing covariance models for univariate random fields, to develop flexible, interpretable and computationally feasible classes of cross-covariance functions in closed form. We focus on spatio-temporal cross-covariance functions that can be non...
متن کاملMatérn Cross-Covariance Functions for Multivariate Random Fields
We introduce a flexible parametric family of matrix-valued covariance functions for multivariate spatial random fields, where each constituent component is a Matérn process. The model parameters are interpretable in terms of process variance, smoothness, correlation length, and co-located correlation coefficients, which can be positive or negative. Both the marginal and the cross-covariance fun...

The expanding role of positional covariance data in modern spacecraft operations leads to a need for better understanding of the time evolution of covariance by mission planners and operators. It is common to see positional covariance information presented as uncertainties in the radial, cross-track and in-track directions. While such a time history does provide some information, it tends to ob...
متن کاملEstimation of co-conditional moments of transmissivity, hydraulic head, and velocity fields
An iterative co-conditional Monte Carlo simulation (IMCS) approach is developed. This approach derives co-conditional means and variances of transmissivity (T), head (f), and Darcy’s velocity (q), based on sparse measurements of T and f in heterogeneous, confined aquifers under steady-state conditions. It employs the classical co-conditional Monte Carlo simulation technique (MCS) and a successi...
متن کاملVisual Representations of Covariance for the Inverse Ocean Modeling Framework
This paper describes our progress in developing visualization techniques to explore covariance, especially within the context of the Inverse Ocean Modeling framework. The size and dimensionality of the data make this an interesting challenge. We describe ways to use common visualization techniques, such as color, to explore covariance. We also introduce a new representation for covariance, in w...
