Geostatistics for functional data: An ordinary kriging approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a methodology to perform spatial prediction when measured data are curves. In particular, we propose both an estimator of the spatial correlation and a functional kriging predictor. We adapt an optimization criterium used in multivariable spatial prediction in order to estimate the kriging parameters. A real data example on soil penetration resistences illustrates our proposals.

Efficient Implementation of an Optimal Interpolator for Large Spatial Data Sets
Interpolating scattered data points is a problem of wide ranging interest. One of the most popular interpolation methods in geostatistics is ordinary kriging. The price for its statistical optimality is that the estimator is computationally very expensive. We demonstrate the space and time efficiency and accuracy of approximating ordinary kriging through the use of covariance tapering combined ...
متن کاملNew Approaches in 3D Geomechanical Earth Modeling
In this paper two new approaches for building 3D Geomechanical Earth Model (GEM) were introduced. The first method is a hybrid of geostatistical estimators, Bayesian inference, Markov chain and Monte Carlo, which is called Model Based Geostatistics (MBG). It has utilized to achieve more accurate geomechanical model and condition the model and parameters of variogram. The second approach is the ...

Drought monitoring is a fundamental component of drought risk management. It is normally performed usingvarious drought indices that are effectively continuous functions of rainfall and other hydrometeorological variables.In many instances, drought indices are used for monitoring purposes. Geostatistical methods allow the interpolationof spatially referenced data and the prediction of values fo...

Determination of water quality is an essential issue in water resources management and its monitoring and zoning should be considered as an important principle in planning. In this study, in order to investigate the quality of groundwater resources (springs, wells and qanats) in Semnan watershed, first, the water quality index for drinking and agricultural purposes was obtained by means of meas...
متن کاملKriging for interpolation in random simulation
Whenever simulation requires much computer time, interpolation is needed. There are several interpolation techniques in use (for example, linear regression), but this paper focuses on Kriging. This technique was originally developed in geostatistics by D. G. Krige, and has recently been widely applied in deterministic simulation. This paper, however, focuses on random or stochastic simulation. ...
