Abstract:
|
Regularization methods can be applied for variable selection in spatial models. The complexity of computation, methods, and theory may differ greatly depending on the objectives of the studies. Here I contrast methods for the selection of covariates, which tends to be more compatible with those for non-spatial models, against those for the selection of spatial dependence structure. While the primary focus is on Gaussian spatial linear regression models, non-Gaussian spatial models are also considered. Examples of ecological data are given for illustration where the selection of covariate and spatial dependence structure are of interest.
