Regression on a Random Field
以随机场作为解释变量的回归
The use of observations of a random function in space (random field) as independent variables in regression is considered including the numerical aspects. Details are presented for obtaining a numerical approximation to a Karhunen-Loève expansion when the random function is observed at a large number of points. The procedure involves a two stage modified principal component analysis. The dependent variable is then regressed on the principal components. An example from…
