Several models of large-scale precipitation variability are based on the normal distribution, not taking into consideration the excess of null observations that are prevalent in the daily or even monthly precipitation information of the region under study. This research proposes a novel way of modeling the trend component by using an inflated gamma distribution of zeros. The residuals of this regression are generally space–time dependent and have been modeled by a space–time covariance function. The findings show that the new techniques have provided reliable and precise precipitation estimates, exceeding the techniques used previously. The modeling provided estimates of precipitation in nonsampled locations and unobserved periods, thus serving as a tool to assist the government in improving water management, anticipating society’s needs and preventing water crises. Keywords: water resources; GAMLSS; geostatistics 1. Introduction An effort has emerged in several areas of knowledge, especially in the climate sciences, to analyze a phenomenon by both space and time [1–3]. It is already established that the spatial–temporal behavior of rainfall is of great importance for the water resources of a region and that it has a direct influence on human activities, such as agriculture and commerce [4]. The northeast region of Brazil (NEB) is characterized by irregular distributions of rainfall, resulting in high spatial and temporal variability of precipitation [4]. In this region, it is common to observe high rainfall indices in a particular location and no record of rain in its surroundings [5]. The state of Paraíba, located in this region, presents the same characteristics, with periods of drought in rainy seasons and behavior different from the precipitation between the mesoregions that constitute the region [6]. Consequently, Paraíba presents a problem concerning the spatiotemporal variability of rainfall. The high variability of recorded rainfall in this region may be attributed to the characteristics of the meteorological systems and their dates of installation in different regions of the state. The periodicity is related to the general behavior of sea surface temperature (SST) in the tropical Pacific region, contributing to the events of El Niño and La Niña, and most notably, by the behavior of the SST Water 2019, 11, 2368; doi:10.3390/w11112368 www.mdpi.com/journal/water Water 2019, 11, x FOR PEER REVIEW 2 of 17 Water 2019, 11, 2368 2 of 16 of the SST in the tropical Atlantic region due to its proximity to the study area.

  • Augmenting Geostatistics with Matrix Factorization: a Case Study for House Price Estimation
    International Journal of Geo-Information Article Augmenting Geostatistics with Matrix Factorization: A Case Study for House Price Estimation Aisha Sikder ∗ and Andreas Züfle Department of Geography and Geoinformation Science, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA; azufl[email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 14 January 2020; Accepted: 22 April 2020; Published: 28 April 2020 Abstract: Singular value decomposition (SVD) is ubiquitously used in recommendation systems to estimate and predict values based on latent features obtained through matrix factorization. But, oblivious of location information, SVD has limitations in predicting variables that have strong spatial autocorrelation, such as housing prices which strongly depend on spatial properties such as the neighborhood and school districts. In this work, we build an algorithm that integrates the latent feature learning capabilities of truncated SVD with kriging, which is called SVD-Regression Kriging (SVD-RK). In doing so, we address the problem of modeling and predicting spatially autocorrelated data for recommender engines using real estate housing prices by integrating spatial statistics. We also show that SVD-RK outperforms purely latent features based solutions as well as purely spatial approaches like Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR). Our proposed algorithm, SVD-RK, integrates the results of truncated SVD as an independent variable into a regression kriging approach. We show experimentally, that latent house price patterns learned using SVD are able to improve house price predictions of ordinary kriging in areas where house prices fluctuate locally. For areas where house prices are strongly spatially autocorrelated, evident by a house pricing variogram showing that the data can be mostly explained by spatial information only, we propose to feed the results of SVD into a geographically weighted regression model to outperform the orginary kriging approach.

Analyzing changes in meteorological variables is very important to understand a climate system and minimize the adverse effects of the climate changes. One of the main issues in meteorological analysis is the interpolation of spatial data. In recent years, with the developments in Geographical Information System (GIS) technology, the statistical methods have been integrated with GIS and geostatistical methods have constituted a strong alternative to deterministic methods in the interpolation and analysis of the spatial data. In this study; spatial distribution of precipitation and temperature of the Aegean Region in Turkey for years 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010 were obtained by the Ordinary Kriging method which is one of the geostatistical interpolation methods, the changes realized in 5-year periods were determined and the results were statistically examined using cell and multivariate statistics. The results of this study show that it is necessary to pay attention to climate change in the precipitation regime of the Aegean Region.

WONG,a LESTER YUANb AND SUSAN A. PERLINb aSchool of Computational Sciences, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA, USA bNational Center for Environmental Assessment, Washington, US Environmental Protection Agency, USA We recognized that many health outcomes are associated with air pollution, but in this project launched by the US EPA, the intent was to assess the role of exposure to ambient air pollutants as risk factors only for respiratory effects in children. The NHANES-III database is a valuable resource for assessing children’s respiratory health and certain risk factors, but lacks monitoring data to estimate subjects’ exposures to ambient air pollutants. Since the 1970s, EPA has regularly monitored levels of several ambient air pollutants across the country and these data may be used to estimate NHANES subject’s exposure to ambient air pollutants. The first stage of the project eventually evolved into assessing different estimation methods before adopting the estimates to evaluate respiratory health. Specifically, this paper describes an effort using EPA’s AIRS monitoring data to estimate ozone and PM10 levels at census block groups. We limited those block groups to counties visited by NHANES-III to make the project more manageable and apply four different interpolation methods to the monitoring data to derive air concentration levels. Then we examine method-specific differences in concentration levels and determine conditions under which different methods produce significantly different concentration values.

    Introduction to Modeling Spatial Processes Using Geostatistical Analyst Konstantin Krivoruchko, Ph.D. Software Development Lead, Geostatistics [email protected] Geostatistics is a set of models and tools developed for statistical analysis of continuous data. These data can be measured at any location in space, but they are available in a limited number of sampled points. Since input data are contaminated by errors and models are only approximations of the reality, predictions made by Geostatistical Analyst are accompanied by information on uncertainties. The first step in statistical data analysis is to verify three data features: dependency, stationarity, and distribution. If data are independent, it makes little sense to analyze them geostatisticaly. If data are not stationary, they need to be made so, usually by data detrending and data transformation. Geostatistics works best when input data are Gaussian. If not, data have to be made to be close to Gaussian distribution. Geostatistical Analyst provides exploratory data analysis tools to accomplish these tasks. With information on dependency, stationarity, and distribution you can proceed to the modeling step of the geostatistical data analysis, kriging. The most important step in kriging is modeling spatial dependency, semivariogram modeling. Geostatistical Analyst provides large choice of semivariogram models and reliable defaults for its parameters. Geostatistical Analyst provides six kriging models and validation and cross-validation diagnostics for selecting the best model. Geostatistical Analyst can produce four output maps: prediction, prediction standard errors, probability, and quantile. Each output map produces a different view of the data. This tutorial only explains basic geostatistical ideas and how to use the geostatistical tools and models in Geostatistical Analyst.
