Classes of Nonseparable, Spatio-temporal Stationary Covariance Functions

چکیده
Suppose that a random process Z(s; t), indexed in space and time, has a spatio-temporal stationary covariance C(h; u), where h 2 IR d (d 1) is a spatial lag and u 2 IR is a temporal lag. Separable spatio-temporal covariances have the property that they can be written as a product of a purely spatial covariance and a purely temporal covariance. Their ease of deenition is counterbalanced by the rather limited class of random processes to which they correspond. In this article, we derive a new approach that allows one to obtain many classes of nonseparable, spatio-temporal stationary covariance functions and we t several such to spatio-temporal data on wind speed over a region in the tropical western Paciic ocean.

متن کاملCross-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 کاملSpatio-temporal Covariance Model for Medical Images Sequences: Application to Functional MRI Data
Spatial and temporal correlations which affect the signal measured in functional MRI (fMRI) are usually not considered simultaneously (i.e., as non-independent random processes) in statistical methods dedicated to detecting cerebral activation. We propose a new method for modeling the covariance of a stationary spatio-temporal random process and apply this approach to fMRI data analysis. For do...
متن کاملRecent advances to model anisotropic space-time data
Building new and flexible classes of nonseparable spatio-temporal covariances and variograms has resulted a key point of research in the last years. The goal of this paper is to present an up-to-date overview of recent spatio-temporal covariance models taking into account the problem of spatial anisotropy. The resulting structures are proved to have certain interesting mathematical properties, ...
متن کاملA New Class of Spatial Covariance Functions Generated by Higher-order Kernels
Covariance functions and variograms play a fundamental role in exploratory analysis and statistical modelling of spatial and spatio-temporal datasets. In this paper, we construct a new class of spatial covariance functions using the Fourier transform of some higher-order kernels. Moreover, we extend this class of spatial covariance functions to the spatio-temporal setting using the idea used in...
