Why Is Isotropy so Prevalent in Spatial Statistics?

چکیده
There are many reasons for the popular use of the isotropic or geometrically anisotropic covariance function and variogram in spatial statistics. A less known reason demonstrated in this paper is that an isotropic or geometrically anisotropic model would be the only choice in certain circumstances, for instance, when the underlying random field is smooth enough.

A formal test for nonstationarity of spatial stochastic processes
Spatial statistics is one of the major methodologies of image analysis, field trials, remote sensing, and environmental statistics. The standard methodology in spatial statistics is essentially based on the assumption of stationary and isotropic random fields. Such assumptions might not hold in large heterogeneous fields. Thus, it is important to understand when stationarity and isotropy are re...
متن کاملSpatial monitoring of land surface temperature and solar radiation energy using remote sensing data and geo statistics (Case study: Lut desert)
Solar energy is receiving lots of attention because it is one of the cleanest, cheapest and most available energies in the world.but solar radiation in different parts is changing, thus, identifying appropriate locations for implementation of solar energy is necessary. Accordingly the aim of this study was to analyze the potential of solar radiation and land surface temperature on the Loot dese...
متن کاملNonparametric Spectral-Spatial Anomaly Detection
Due to abundant spectral information contained in the hyperspectral images, they are suitable data for anomalous targets detection. The use of spatial features in addition to spectral ones can improve the anomaly detection performance. An anomaly detector, called nonparametric spectral-spatial detector (NSSD), is proposed in this work which utilizes the benefits of spatial features and local st...
