Spatial statistics • What is spatial statistics? • Refers to a very broad collection of methods and techniques of visualization, exploration and analysis applied to data with spatial stucture. • Spatiotemporal-when time is involved • Why is it useful? • A lot of data contain geographic information • Interest in studying response patterns over a particular region • Ignoring the spatial structure -> spurious results • A few examples. • Meteorology –weather patterns over a country/region • Environmental Science –pollutant concentrations over an area • Epidemiology –disease monitoring
Properties of computer experiments • Computer experiments refer to those experiments that are performed in computers using physical models and finite element analysis. • Deterministic outputs (no random error) • No replicates required • Interpolation • Large number of variables • Time-consuming, expensive
Computer experiments modeling • Universal kriging • Ordinary kriging
