A Time-Series Model for Areal Data Using Area-Specific Gaussian Processes with Spatially Correlated Hyperparameters
以空间相关超参数连接地区高斯过程的区域时间序列模型
In many applied settings, areal data are observed repeatedly over long time periods, as commonly occurs in infectious disease surveillance and environmental or demographic monitoring. Accurate characterization of local temporal dynamics and uncertainty is important for monitoring disease trends, identifying local changes, and supporting public health decision-making. Traditional spatio-temporal models generally represent spatial, temporal, and space-time interaction…
