Parameter Estimation For The Spatial Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Process With Missing Observations, Sami Cheong
Theses and Dissertations
Suppose we are collecting a set of data on a rectangular sampling grid, it is reasonable to assume that observations (e.g. data that arise in weather forecasting, public health and agriculture) made on each sampling site are spatially correlated. Therefore, when building a model for this type of data, we often pair it with an underlying Gaussian process that contains different spatially dependent parameters. Here, we assume that the Gaussian process is characterized by the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck covariance function, which has the property of being both stationary and Markov under the assumption that no observations are missing. However, in reality, the …
