Abstract:

Multivariate spatial and space-time datasets are ubiquitous in many sciences, and only in the past two decades has the statistical community begun developing and exploring models for such processes. Most extant models have been applied only to datasets with a handful of variables with much work focused on the bivariate problem. In this talk we review some challenges for multivariate modeling, and discuss the relationship between model parsimony and utility. We propose a new framework to model hundreds of variables simultaneously motivated by data from the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM).
