Fixed-Domain Posterior Contraction Rates for Spatial Gaussian Process Model with Nugget
含块金项的空间高斯过程模型:固定区域下的后验收缩率
Spatial Gaussian process regression models typically contain finite dimensional covariance parameters that need to be estimated from the data. We study the Bayesian estimation of covariance parameters including the nugget parameter in a general class of stationary covariance functions under fixed-domain asymptotics, which is theoretically challenging due to the increasingly strong dependence among spatial observations. We propose a novel adaptation of the Schwartz’s…
