基于变形的非平稳非对称多元空间协方差建模

Modeling Nonstationary and Asymmetric Multivariate Spatial Covariances via Deformations

Quan Vu, Andrew Zammit-Mangion, Noel Cressie

摘要:

多变量空间统计模型经常被用来模拟环境和社会人口过程。最常用的多元空间协方差模型假设互协方差具有平稳性和对称性,但这些假设在实践中很少成立。在这篇文章中,我们介绍了一个新的和高度灵活的非平稳和非对称的多元空间协方差模型,通过建模更简单,更熟悉的平稳和对称的多元协方差的翘曲域。受单变量情况下的最新发展的启发,我们提出将扭曲函数建模为深度学习框架中的许多简单单射扭曲函数的组合。重要的是,协方差模型的有效性是通过构建来保证的。我们建立了允许互协方差对称性和不对称性的变形类型,并且我们使用基于似然性的方法进行计算效率高的推理。这类新的模型的效用是通过两个数据插图:对非平稳数据的模拟研究和在两个不同深度的海洋温度的应用。

英文摘要:

Multivariate spatial-statistical models are often used when modeling environmental and socio-demographic processes. The most commonly used models for multivariate spatial covariances assume both stationarity and symmetry for the cross-covariances, but these assumptions are rarely tenable in practice. In this article we introduce a new and highly flexible class of nonstationary and asymmetric multivariate spatial covariance models that are constructed by modeling the simpler and more familiar stationary and symmetric multivariate covariances on a warped domain. Inspired by recent developments in the univariate case, we propose modeling the warping function as a composition of a number of simple injective warping functions in a deep-learning framework. Importantly, covariance-model validity is guaranteed by construction. We establish the types of warpings that allow for cross-covariance symmetry and asymmetry, and we use likelihood-based methods for inference that are computationally efficient. The utility of this new class of models is shown through two data illustrations: a simulation study on nonstationary data and an application on ocean temperatures at two different depths.
