Abstract:

We propose new classes of covariance functions for vector-valued random fields having the additional feature of being compactly supported, which is desirable for practitioners working on massive spatial data sets. In particular, we propose compactly supported matrix-valued mappings generated by the Wu class of covariance functions as well as its generalizations to the so-called Buhmann and Gneiting-Wendland classes. An application to Pacific Ocean temperature and pressure data, as well as a simulation study, illustrate the features of such models.
