Generalized Linear Spatial Models to Predict Slate Exploitability
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this research was to determine the variables that characterize slate exploitability and to model spatial distribution. A generalized linear spatialmodel (GLSMs)was fitted in order to explore relationship between exploitability and different explanatory variables that characterize slate quality.Modelling the influence of these variables and analysing the spatial distribution of themodel residuals yielded a GLSM that allows slate exploitability to be predicted more effectively than when using generalized linear models (GLM), which do not take spatial dependence into account. Studying the residuals and comparing the prediction capacities of the two models lead us to conclude that the GLSM is more appropriate when the response variable presents spatial distribution.

Parameter Estimation in Spatial Generalized Linear Mixed Models with Skew Gaussian Random Effects using Laplace Approximation
Spatial generalized linear mixed models are used commonly for modelling non-Gaussian discrete spatial responses. We present an algorithm for parameter estimation of the models using Laplace approximation of likelihood function. In these models, the spatial correlation structure of data is carried out by random effects or latent variables. In most spatial analysis, it is assumed that rando...
متن کاملBayesian Inference for Spatial Beta Generalized Linear Mixed Models
In some applications, the response variable assumes values in the unit interval. The standard linear regression model is not appropriate for modelling this type of data because the normality assumption is not met. Alternatively, the beta regression model has been introduced to analyze such observations. A beta distribution represents a flexible density family on (0, 1) interval that covers symm...

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common diseases in women and causes more deaths rather than other cancers. The increasing trend of breast cancer in Iran makes clear the need of extensive breast cancer research in this area. Some studies showed that in the variety countries and even in the different areas in one country has different risk of breast cancer incidence and this is a rea...
متن کاملA comparison of algorithms for maximum likelihood estimation of Spatial GLM models
In spatial generalized linear mixed models, spatial correlation is assumed by adding normal latent variables to the model. In these models because of the non-Gaussian spatial response and the presence of latent variables the likelihood function cannot usually be given in a closed form, thus the maximum likelihood approach is very challenging. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce two n...
متن کاملUsing multivariate generalized linear latent variable models to measure the difference in event count for stranded marine animals
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The classification of marine animals as protected species makes data and information on them to be very important. Therefore, this led to the need to retrieve and understand the data on the event counts for stranded marine animals based on location emergence, number of individuals, behavior, and threats to their presence. Whales are g...
