Abstract:
|
Local signal detection is useful in many scientific areas such as imaging processing and speech recognition for extracting useful patterns from noisy signals. In this paper, we study estimation and local signal detection for spatial data distributed over irregular domains. We use bivariate splines defined on triangulations to approximate unknown signals on a complex domain nonparametrically. We propose a penalized polynomial spline method that simultaneously detects the null region with no signals and estimate the patter on non-zero regions. A smoothing proximal gradient (SPG) algorithm is used to find the estimator efficiently. In theory, the proposed estimator is shown to be consistent in estimating the underling true signals. In addition, it is also able to detect the null signal region with probability with probability approaching to one. The numeric performances of the proposed method is evaluated by simulation studies and real data analysis. It shows that the proposed method and algorithm efficiently detect local signals on complex domains.
