Abstract:
|
We propose a multivariate fused Gaussian process (MFGP) model that is able to flexibly model multivariate spatial processes and enables efficient computation. Built up the Fused Gaussian process (FGP; Ma and Kang, 2019), the proposed model combines a low-rank component and a multivariate Gaussian Markov random field to jointly depict spatial dependence structure that is potentially nonstationary. Numerical studies are carried out to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method. The proposed method is also implemented in an uncertainty quantification simulation experiment to emulate multivariate geophysical processes.
