Gaussian processes (GPs) are a popular model for spatially referenced data and allow descriptive statements, predictions at new locations, and simulation of new fields. Often a few parameters are sufficient to parameterize the covariance function, and maximum likelihood (ML) methods can be used to estimate these parameters from data. ML methods, ho...

... of ecient approximate statistical approaches may explain why some applied scientists turn away from GP models in favor of algorithmic methods designed for speciic tasks. For example, there are many recent algorithms for the fast prediction of missing observations in satellite data; see Table 1 in Gerber, de Jong, Schaepman, Schaepman-Strub, and Furrer (2018) for an overview. Such methods are typically much faster but provide only a limited statistical framework, which makes uncertainty quantiication diicult. ...

The effects of disturbance on spatial patterns and species interactions provide critical information on community structure and species coexistence. Two standard plots of 1-ha were set, one of them was a sample plot with retrograde succession after disturbance, and the other one was undisturbed. Spatial indices and Spatial patterns statistics were...

One of the main issues in the application of statistical‐learning‐based methods to the characterization of hydrological phenomena is the complex parameterization of the high‐quality reconstruction. The difficulty of obtaining enough training data and generating multiple‐scale structures hinder the applications of deep‐learning‐based methods in hydr...

Multiple variables that are correlated should be jointly simulated and the resulting realizations should reproduce the experimental data statistics (i.e. histogram, variogram, correlation coefficients). Multivariate transforms such as principal component analysis (PCA), minimum/maximum autocorrelation factors (MAF) and projection pursuit multivaria...

Soil moisture is crucial in governing land surface processes that have an important influence on the yield and quality of crops. Therefore, it is essential to establish criteria for appropriate mean soil moisture monitoring strategy in order to obtain a representative mean soil moisture value of a farmer’s field. In this study, the plant available...
