Abstract:
|
In spatial statistics, the reliability of Kriging prediction methods relies on the observations coming from an underlying Gaussian process. When the observed data set is not from a multivariate Gaussian distribution, but rather is a transformation of Gaussian data, Kriging methods can produce biased predictions. Bootstrap resampling methods present a potential bias correction. We propose a parametric bootstrap methodology for the calculation of a multiplicative bias correction factor when dealing with trans-Gaussian data. Furthermore, we investigate the asymptotic properties. Finally, we present the results for both simulated and real world data.
