This study uses elliptical copulas and transition probabilities for uncertainty modeling of categorical spatial data. It begins by discussing the expressions of the cumulative distribution function and probability density function of two major elliptical copulas: Gaussian copula and t copula. The basic form of spatial copula discriminant function is then derived based on Bayes’ theorem, which consists of three parts: the prior probability, the conditional marginal densities, and the conditional copula density. Finally, three kinds of parameter estimation methods are discussed, including maximum likelihood estimation, inference functions for margins and canonical maximum likelihood (CML). To avoid making assumptions on the form of marginal distributions, the CML approach is adopted in the real-world case study. Results show that the occurrence probability maps generated by these two elliptical copulas are similar to each other. However, the prediction map interpolated by Gaussian copula has a relatively higher classification accuracy than t copula. 相似文献

Being a non-linear method based on a rigorous formalism and an efficient processing of various information sources, the Bayesian
maximum entropy (BME) approach has proven to be a very powerful method in the context of continuous spatial random fields,
providing much more satisfactory estimates than those obtained from traditional linear geostatistics (i.e., the various kriging
techniques). This paper aims at presenting an extension of the BME formalism in the context of categorical spatial random
fields. In the first part of the paper, the indicator kriging and cokriging methods are briefly presented and discussed. A
special emphasis is put on their inherent limitations, both from the theoretical and practical point of view. The second part
aims at presenting the theoretical developments of the BME approach for the case of categorical variables. The three-stage
procedure is explained and the formulations for obtaining prior joint distributions and computing posterior conditional distributions
are given for various typical cases. The last part of the paper consists in a simulation study for assessing the performance
of BME over the traditional indicator (co)kriging techniques. The results of these simulations highlight the theoretical limitations
of the indicator approach (negative probability estimates, probability distributions that do not sum up to one, etc.) as well
as the much better performance of the BME approach. Estimates are very close to the theoretical conditional probabilities,
that can be computed according to the stated simulation hypotheses. 相似文献

In spite of the exponential growth in the amount of data that one may expect to provide greater modeling and predictions opportunities,
the number and diversity of sources over which this information is fragmented is growing at an even faster rate. As a consequence,
there is real need for methods that aim at reconciling them inside an epistemically sound theoretical framework. In a statistical
spatial prediction framework, classical methods are based on a multivariate approach of the problem, at the price of strong
modeling hypotheses. Though new avenues have been recently opened by focusing on the integration of uncertain data sources,
to the best of our knowledges there have been no systematic attemps to explicitly account for information redundancy through
a data fusion procedure. Starting from the simple concept of measurement errors, this paper proposes an approach for integrating
multiple information processing as a part of the prediction process itself through a Bayesian approach. A general formulation
is first proposed for deriving the prediction distribution of a continuous variable of interest at unsampled locations using
on more or less uncertain (soft) information at neighboring locations. The case of multiple information is then considered,
with a Bayesian solution to the problem of fusing multiple information that are provided as separate conditional probability
distributions. Well-known methods and results are derived as limit cases. The convenient hypothesis of conditional independence
is discussed by the light of information theory and maximum entropy principle, and a methodology is suggested for the optimal
selection of the most informative subset of information, if needed. Based on a synthetic case study, an application of the
methodology is presented and discussed. 相似文献

The present paper reports on the use of copula functions to describe the distribution of discrete spatial data, e.g. count data from environmental mapping or areal data analysis. In particular, we consider approaches to parameter point estimation and propose a fast method to perform approximate spatial prediction in copula-based spatial models with discrete marginal distributions. We assess the goodness of the resulting parameter estimates and predictors under different spatial settings and guide the analyst on which approach to apply for the data at hand. Finally, we illustrate the methodology by analyzing the well-known Lansing Woods data set. Software that implements the methods proposed in this paper is freely available in Matlab language on the author’s website. 相似文献

In a wide range of scientific fields the outputs coming from certain measurements often come in form of curves. In this paper we give a solution to the problem of spatial prediction of non-stationary functional data. We propose a new predictor by extending the classical universal kriging predictor for univariate data to the context of functional data. Using an approach similar to that used in univariate geostatistics we obtain a matrix system for estimating the weights of each functional variable on the prediction. The proposed methodology is validated by analyzing a real dataset corresponding to temperature curves obtained in several weather stations of Canada. 相似文献

Spectral multi-scaling postulates a power-law type of scaling of spectral distribution functions of stationary processes of spatial averages, over nested and geometrically similar sub-regions of the spatial parameter space of a given spatio-temporal random field. Presently a new framework is formulated for down-scaling processes of spatial averages, following naturally from the postulate of spectral multi-scaling, and key ingredients required for its implementation are described. Moreover, results from an extensive diagnostic study are presented, seeking statistical evidence supportive of spectral multi-scaling. Such evidence emerges from two sources of data. One is a 13 year long historical record of radar observations of rainfall in southeastern UK (Chenies radar), with high spatial (2 km) and temporal (5 min) resolution. The other is an ensemble of rain rate fields simulated by a spatio-temporal random pulse model fitted to the historical data. The results are consistent between historical and simulated rainfall data, indicating frequency-dependent scaling relationships interpreted as evidence of spectral multi-scaling across a range of spatial scales. 相似文献

Generation of replicates of the available data enables the researchers to solve different statistical problems, such as the estimation of standard errors, the inference of parameters or even the approximation of distribution functions. With this aim, Bootstrap approaches are suggested in the current work, specifically designed for their application to spatial data, as they take into account the dependence structure of the underlying random process. The key idea is to construct nonparametric distribution estimators, adapted to the spatial setting, which are distribution functions themselves, associated to discrete or continuous random variables. Then, the Bootstrap samples are obtained by drawing at random from the estimated distribution. Consistency of the suggested approaches will be proved by assuming stationarity from the random process or by relaxing the latter hypothesis to admit a deterministic trend. Numerical studies for simulated data and a real data set, obtained from environmental monitoring, are included to illustrate the application of the proposed Bootstrap methods. 相似文献

Data assimilation methods provide a means to handle the modeling errors and uncertainties in sophisticated ocean models. In this study, we have created an OpenDA-NEMO framework unlocking the data assimilation tools available in OpenDA for use with NEMO models. This includes data assimilation methods, automatic parallelization, and a recently implemented automatic localization algorithm that removes spurious correlations in the model based on uncertainties in the computed Kalman gain matrix. We have set up a twin experiment where we assimilate sea surface height (SSH) satellite measurements. From the experiments, we can conclude that the OpenDA-NEMO framework performs as expected and that the automatic localization significantly improves the performance of the data assimilation algorithm by successfully removing spurious correlations. Based on these results, it looks promising to extend the framework with new kinds of observations and work on improving the computational speed of the automatic localization technique such that it becomes feasible to include large number of observations. 相似文献

An algorithm was designed to statistically estimate the areal distribution of water-table altitude. The altitude of the water table was bounded below by the minimum water-table surface and above by the land surface. Using lake elevations and stream stages, and interpolating between lakes and streams, the minimum water-table surface was generated. A multiple linear regression among the minimum water-table altitude, the differerence between land-surface and minimum water-table altitudes, and the water-level measurements from surficial aquifier system wells resulted in a consistently high correlation for all groups of physiographic regions in Florida. A simple linear regression between land-surface and water-level measurements resulted in a root-mean-square residual of 4.23 m, with residuals ranging from -8.78 to 41.54 m. A simple linear regression between the minimum water table and the water-level measurements resulted in a root-mean-square residual of 1.45 m, with residuals ranging from -7.39 to 4.10 m. The application of the multiple linear regression presented herein resulted in a root-mean-square residual of 1.05 m, with residuals ranging from -5.24 to 5.63 m. Results from complete and partial F tests rejected the hypothesis of eliminating any of the regressors in the multiple linear regression presented in this study. 相似文献

Abstract Application of statistical estimators to analysis and prediction is examined from the point of view of geophysical fluid dynamics. The fundamental difficulty is that estimators constructed from observational records of limited length (the usual case in GFD) are sensitive to sampling errors in the statistics upon which they are based. To achieve meaningful results, the number of data, or input, parameters must be limited. The relationship between statistical and dynamical models (particularly clear for linear systems) coupled with certain statistical methods are explored with respect to the problem of input parameter selection, both for linear and nonlinear systems. Methods of assessing the effects of sampling errors in hindcasts are discussed and techniques for minimizing these effects in forecasts are evaluated. A method of efficiently condensing statistical models to a few input parameters and transfer functions is given. Finally the steps of hindcast analysis and forecaster construction are discussed from the practical point of view. 相似文献

Multivariate simulation is an important longstanding problem in geostatistics. Fitting a model of coregionalization to many
variables is intractable and often not permitted; however, the matrix of collocated correlation coefficients is often well
informed. Performing a matrix simulation with LU decomposition of the correlation matrix at each step of sequential simulation
is implemented in some software. The target correlation matrix is not reproduced because of conditioning to local data and
the particular variable ordering in the sequential/LU decomposition. A correction procedure is developed to calculate a modified
correlation matrix that leads to reproduction of the target correlation matrix. The theoretical and practical aspects of this
correction are developed. 相似文献

Hydrological modelling depends highly on the accuracy and uncertainty of model input parameters such as soil properties. Since most of these data are field surveyed, geostatistical techniques such as kriging, classification and regression trees or more sophisticated soil‐landscape models need to be applied to interpolate point information to the area. Most of the existing interpolation techniques require a random or regular distribution of points within the study area but are not adequate to satisfactorily interpolate soil catena or transect data. The soil landscape model presented in this study is predicting soil information from transect or catena point data using a statistical mean (arithmetic, geometric and harmonic mean) to calculate the soil information based on class means of merged spatial explanatory variables. A data set of 226 soil depth measurements covering a range of 0–6·5 m was used to test the model. The point data were sampled along four transects in the Stubbetorp catchment, SE‐Sweden. We overlaid a geomorphology map (8 classes) with digital elevation model‐derived topographic index maps (2–9 classes) to estimate the range of error the model produces with changing sample size and input maps. The accuracy of the soil depth predictions was estimated with the root mean square error (RMSE) based on a testing and training data set. RMSE ranged generally between 0·73 and 0·83 m ± 0·013 m depending on the amount of classes the merged layers had, but were smallest for a map combination with a low number of classes predicted with the harmonic mean (RMSE = 0·46 m). The results show that the prediction accuracy of this method depends on the number of point values in the sample, the value range of the measured attribute and the initial correlations between point values and explanatory variables, but suggests that the model approach is in general scale invariant.

AMSR-E and MODIS are two EOS (Earth Observing System) instruments on board the Aqua satellite. A regression analysis between the brightness of all AMSR-E bands and the MODIS land surface tem-perature product indicated that the 89 GHz vertical polarization is the best single band to retrieve land surface temperature. According to simulation analysis with AIEM,the difference of different frequen-cies can eliminate the influence of water in soil and atmosphere,and also the surface roughness partly. The analysis results indicate that the radiation mechanism of surface covered snow is different from others. In order to retrieve land surface temperature more accurately,the land surface should be at least classified into three types:water covered surface,snow covered surface,and non-water and non-snow covered land surface. In order to improve the practicality and accuracy of the algorithm,we built different equations for different ranges of temperature. The average land surface temperature er-ror is about 2―3℃ relative to the MODIS LST product. 相似文献

The remediation of sites contaminated with unexploded ordnance (UXO) remains an area of intense focus for the Department of
Defense. Under the sponsorship of SERDP, data fusion techniques are being developed for use in enhancing wide-area assessment
UXO remediation efforts and a data fusion framework is being created to provide a cohesive data management and decision-making
utility to allow for more efficient expenditure of time, labor and resources. An important first step in this work is the
development of feature extraction utilities and feature probability density maps for eventual input to data fusion algorithms,
making data fusion of estimates of data quality, UXO-related features, non-UXO backgrounds, and correlations among independent
data streams possible. Utilizing data acquired during ESTCP’s Wide-Area Assessment Pilot Program, the results presented here
successfully demonstrate the feasibility of automated feature extraction from light detection and ranging, orthophotography,
and helicopter magnetometry wide-area assessment survey data acquired at the Pueblo Precision Bombing Range #2. These data
were imported and registered to a common survey map grid and UXO-related features were extracted and utilized to construct
survey site-wide probability density maps that are well-suited for input to higher level data fusion algorithms. Preliminary
combination of feature maps from the various data sources yielded maps for the Pueblo site that offered a more accurate UXO
assessment than any one data source alone.
