Latent Variable Analysis of Multivariate Spatial Data
多元空间数据的潜变量分析
Multivariate spatial or geo-referenced data arise naturally in such disciplines as ecology, agriculture, geology, and atmospheric sciences. In practice, interest often lies in modeling underlying structure and representing interrelationships in terms of a smaller number of variables. For such situations, statistical analysis using a latent variable model is proposed. We present a general model that incorporates spatial correlation and potential lagged or shifted dependencies…
