Abstract:
|
The Karhunen-Loeve expansion of a spatial process represents the process by an infinite sum of white noises. The random variations of the process are fully captured by the white noise and the first few terms usually account for a significant portion of the variation of the process. This leads to some work to employ the truncated KL expansion to analyze massive spatial data. New algorithms have been developed to calculate the KL expansion for spatial processes. In this talk, I will explore the application of Karhunen-Loeve expansion in the theoretical study of multivariate spatial process. For example, the KL expansion can provide insights into when cokriging is expected to outperform kriging and when it is not.
