A Nonparametric Test for Spatial Isotropy Using Subsampling
利用子抽样进行空间各向同性的非参数检验
A common requirement for spatial modeling is the development of an appropriate correlation structure. Although the assumption of isotropy is often made for this structure, it is not always appropriate. A conventional practice when checking for isotropy is to informally assess plots of direction-specific sample (semi)variograms. Although a useful diagnostic, these graphical techniques are difficult to assess and open to interpretation. Formal alternatives to graphical…
