基于协方差惩罚的空间预测方差估计

Spatial prediction variance estimation based on covariance penalty

Roberto Rivera, Wendy Meiring

摘要:

在实践中,很少(如果有的话)是已知的空间预测问题的空间协方差。通常,在将估计的空间协方差参数插入预测方程之后执行预测。估计的空间关联参数也被插入到空间预测器的预测方差中。但是,简单地将空间协方差参数估计值插入空间预测因子的预测方差中并不考虑空间协方差参数的真实值的不确定性。因此,插件预测方差估计将低估估计的空间预测因子的真实预测方差,特别是对于小数据集。我们提出了一种新的方法来估计估计的预测方差的估计空间预测的协方差惩罚的基础上,使用参数自举。我们的新估计相比,其他三个预测方差估计在文献中提出。新的预测方差估计一般比插入式方法的小数据集与弱空间关联,虽然有时它是第二个最好的四个预测方差估计比较。此外,新的预测方差估计器可以潜在地用于非正态预测的情况。

英文摘要:

In practice rarely (if ever) is the spatial covariance known in spatial prediction problems. Often, prediction is performed after estimated spatial covariance parameters are plugged into the prediction equation. The estimated spatial association parameters arealso plugged into the prediction variance of the spatial predictor. However, simply plugging in spatial covariance parameter estimates into the prediction variance of the spatial predictor does not take into account the uncertainty in the true values of the spatial covariance parameters. Therefore the plug-in prediction variance estimate will underestimate the true prediction variance of the estimated spatial predictor, especially for small datasets. We propose a new way to estimate the prediction variance of the estimated spatial predictor based on a covariance penalty using parametric bootstrapping. Our new estimator is compared to three other prediction variance estimators proposed in literature. The new prediction variance estimator generally performs better than the plug in method for small datasets with weak spatial association, although sometimes it is second best among the four prediction variance estimators compared. Furthermore, the new prediction variance estimator could potentially be used in the case of non-normal prediction.
