Analyzing Nonstationary Spatial Data Using Piecewise Gaussian Processes
利用分片高斯过程分析非平稳空间数据
In many problems in geostatistics the response variable of interest is strongly related to the underlying geology of the spatial location. In these situations there is often little correlation in the responses found in different rock strata, so the underlying covariance structure shows sharp changes at the boundaries of the rock types. Conventional stationary and nonstationary spatial methods are inappropriate, because they typically assume that the covariance between points…
