Abstract:
|
It has been noted that deep machine learning models are closely connected to spatial hierarchical models (e.g. Wikle (2019)). In both approaches, complex spatial fields are developed through dependence on simpler spatial fields. The dependence is commonly additive in hierarchical modeling settings but can be more general in a deep ML model. In this talk we explore the use of deep Gaussian processes in settings where a hierarchical spatial model seems appropriate. We'll explore the basic deep GP formulation and computing required to carry out a fully Bayesian analysis and compare this to a more standard hierarchical model. We'll use an example from model-based prediction of rainfall from tropical cyclones hitting the east coast of the U.S.
