An h -Likelihood Method for Spatial Mixed Linear Models Based on Intrinsic Auto-Regressions
基于内在自回归的空间混合线性模型 h-似然方法
Summary We consider sparse spatial mixed linear models, particularly those described by Besag and Higdon, and develop an h-likelihood method for their statistical inference. The method proposed allows for singular precision matrices, as it produces estimates that coincide with those from the residual maximum likelihood based on appropriate differencing of the data and has a novel approach to estimating precision parameters by a gamma linear model. Furthermore, we generalize…
