A new class of random field models for data on networks

-

B9 L2 R2322 H1

Random fields are popular models in statistics and machine learning for spatially dependent data on Euclidian domains. However, in many applications, data is observed on non-Euclidian domains such as street networks. In this case, it is much more difficult to construct valid random field models. In this talk, we discuss some recent approaches to modeling data in this setting, and in particular define a new class of Gaussian processes on compact metric graphs.

Spatial Self-Confounding: Smoothness-related estimation bias in spatial regression models

1 min read ·
Spatial regression models are widely used to capture the relationship between observations and covariates, employing Gaussian random fields to account for spatial variability not explained by the covariates. A new study by researchers David Bolin and Jonas Wallin addresses a critical yet often overlooked problem in these models: smoothness-related spatial self-confounding. The work examines how misspecified covariates, particularly when there are differences in smoothness between variables, can lead to severe and counter-intuitive biases in the estimation of regression parameters.

A new study by researchers at KAUST introduces a breakthrough method for statistical modeling with Matérn Gaussian processes, a popular tool in spatial statistics, machine learning, and the natural sciences. While Gaussian processes with stationary Matérn covariance functions (Matérn processes) are valued for their flexibility, their use with large datasets has been severely limited by the high computational cost of standard methods. The team has developed the first generally applicable approach that enables fast, linear-cost inference and prediction for Matérn processes on bounded intervals
