This paper presents a continuous version of the model of distribution dynamics to analyse the transition dynamics and implied
long-run behaviour of the EU-27 NUTS-2 regions over the period 1995–2003. It departs from previous research in two respects:
first, by introducing kernel estimation and three-dimensional stacked conditional density plots as well as highest density regions
plots for the visualisation of the transition function, based on Hyndman et al. (J Comput Graph Stat 5(4):315–336, 1996), and second, by combining Getis’ spatial filtering view with kernel estimation to explicitly account for the spatial dimension of the
growth process. The results of the analysis indicate a very slow catching-up of the poorest regions with the richer ones,
a process of shifting away of a small group of very rich regions, and highlight the importance of geography in understanding
regional income distribution dynamics.

A spatiotemporal analysis of aggregate labour force behaviour by sex and age across the European Union 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
J. Paul Elhorst 《Journal of Geographical Systems》2008,10(2):167-190
This study investigates the causes of variation in age-specific male and female labour force participation rates using annual
data from 154 regions across ten European Union member states for the period 1983–1997. Regional participation rates appear
to be strongly correlated in time, weakly correlated in space and to parallel their national counterparts. An econometric
model is designed consistent with these empirical findings. To control for potential endogeneity of the explanatory variables,
we use an instrumental variables estimation scheme based on a matrix exponential spatial specification of the error terms.
Many empirical studies of aggregate labour force behaviour have ignored population distribution effects, relying instead on
the representative-agent paradigm. In order for representative-agent models to accurately describe aggregate behaviour, all
marginal reactions of individuals to changes in aggregate variables must be identical. It turns out that this condition cannot
apply to individuals across different sex/age groups.

Effective management of critical network infrastructure requires the assessment of potential interdiction scenarios. Optimization
approaches have been essential for identifying and evaluating such scenarios in networked systems. Although a primary function
of any network is the distribution of flow between origins and destinations, the complexity and difficulty of mathematically
abstracting interdiction impacts on connectivity or flow has been a challenge for researchers. This paper presents an optimization
approach for identifying interdiction bounds with respect to connectivity and/or flow associated with a system of origins
and destinations. Application results for telecommunications flow are presented, illustrating the capabilities of this approach.

Hierarchical spatial interaction among the Italian regions: a nonlinear relative dynamics approach 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Regional interactions and spillover effects should be considered as important factors in growth analysis of regional economies.
Using modified versions of the Dendrinos–Sonis model, this paper analyses the spatial hierarchical system of Italy. The interaction
among Italian regions is considered at three different levels of spatial aggregation, the NUTS-1, NUTS-2 and NUTS-3 levels.
Compared to more popular spatial econometric approaches, the Dendrinos–Sonis model and its extensions provide greater flexibility
in the way interaction between regions is handled but the results strongly depend on the choice of a reference region.

An exploratory analysis of hierarchical spatial interaction: the case of regional income shares in Indonesia 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
Suahasil Nazara Geoffrey J. D. Hewings Michael Sonis 《Journal of Geographical Systems》2006,8(3):253-268
Regional interaction is generally understood as implying movement between regions at the same level of an hierarchy. This paper extends the notion to include an hierarchical system, thus facilitating the consideration of vertical interaction in the analysis of regional interaction. Obviously, vertical interaction is not altogether a new concept. One could find this concept in many analyses related to national-local or federal-state relationships. This paper treats hierarchy in a strict sense; spatial units are interacting one with another within, but not between, presumed super regions. A particular example drawn in this paper is the province-region relationships for the case of Indonesia. In this framework, provinces form a region, and regions form the nation. The Dendrinos–Sonis model is then used as the basis for measuring the hierarchical spatial interaction in Indonesia. The analysis will explore the degree to which complementarity and competitive interaction revealed at one level in the hierarchy persist at lower or higher levels.

Modeling network autocorrelation within migration flows by eigenvector spatial filtering 总被引:8,自引:5,他引:3
Yongwan Chun 《Journal of Geographical Systems》2008,10(4):317-344
Although the assumption of independence among interaction flows frequently is engaged in spatial interaction modeling, in
many circumstances it leads to misspecified models and incorrect inferences. An informed approach is to explicitly incorporate
an assumed relationship structure among the interaction flows, and to explicitly model the network autocorrelation. This paper
illustrates such an approach in the context of U.S. interstate migration flows. Behavioral assumptions, similar to those of
the intervening opportunities or the competing destinations concepts, exemplify how to specify network flows that are related
to particular origin–destination combinations. The stepwise incorporation of eigenvectors, which are extracted from a network
link matrix, captures the network autocorrelation in a Poisson regression model specification context. Spatial autocorrelation
in Poisson regression is measured by the test statistic of Jacqmin-Gadda et al. (Stat Med
16(11):1283–1297, 1997). Results show that estimated regression parameters in the spatial filtering interaction model become
more intuitively interpretable.

The global navigation satellite system receiver for atmospheric sounding (GRAS) on MetOp-A is the first European GPS receiver
providing dual-frequency navigation and occultation measurements from a spaceborne platform on a routine basis. The receiver
is based on ESA’s AGGA-2 correlator chip, which implements a high-quality tracking scheme for semi-codeless P(Y) code tracking
on the L1 and L2 frequency. Data collected with the zenith antenna on MetOp-A have been used to perform an in-flight characterization
of the GRAS instrument with focus on the tracking and navigation performance. Besides an assessment of the receiver noise
and systematic measurement errors, the study addresses the precise orbit determination accuracy achievable with the GRAS receiver.
A consistency on the 5 cm level is demonstrated for reduced dynamics orbit solutions computed independently by four different
agencies and software packages. With purely kinematic solutions, 10 cm accuracy is obtained. As a part of the analysis, an
empirical antenna offset correction and preliminary phase center correction map are derived, which notably reduce the carrier
phase residuals and improve the consistency of kinematic orbit determination results.

A systematic investigation of cross-validation in GWR model estimation: empirical analysis and Monte Carlo simulations 总被引:8,自引:2,他引:6
In geographically weighted regression, one must determine a window size which will be used to subset the data locally. Typically,
a cross-validation procedure is used to determine a globally optimal window size. Preliminary investigations indicate that
the global cross-validation score is heavily influenced by a small number of observations in the dataset. At present, the
ramifications of this behaviour in cross-validation are unknown. The research reported here explores the extent to which individual
and groups of observations impact optimal window size determination, and whether one can explain why some points are more
influential than others. In addition, we strive to examine the impact neighbourhood specification has on model quality in
terms of predictive capabilities and the ability of the method to retrieve spatially varying processes. The analysis is based
on several datasets and using simulated data in order to compare and validate results. The results provide some practical
guidelines for the use of cross-validation.

Forecasting the impact of transport improvements on commuting and residential choice 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
This paper develops a probabilistic, competing-destinations, assignment model that predicts changes in the spatial pattern
of the working population as a result of transport improvements. The choice of residence is explained by a new non-parametric
model, which represents an alternative to the popular multinominal logit model. Travel times between zones are approximated
by a normal distribution function with different mean and variance for each pair of zones, whereas previous models only use
average travel times. The model’s forecast error of the spatial distribution of the Dutch working population is 7% when tested
on 1998 base-year data. To incorporate endogenous changes in its causal variables, an almost ideal demand system is estimated
to explain the choice of transport mode, and a new economic geography inter-industry model (RAEM) is estimated to explain
the spatial distribution of employment. In the application, the model is used to forecast the impact of six mutually exclusive
Dutch core-periphery railway proposals in the projection year 2020.

Reliability analysis is inseparably connected with the formulation of failure scenarios, and common test statistics are based on specific assumptions. This is easily overlooked when processing observation differences. Poor failure identification performance and misleading pre-analysis results, mainly meaningless minimum detectable biases and external reliability measures, are the consequence. A reasonable failure scenario for use with differenced GNSS observations is formulated which takes into account that individual outliers in the original data affect more than one processed observation. The proper test statistics and reliability indicators are given for use with correlated observations and both batch processing and Kalman filtering. It is also shown that standardized residuals and redundancy numbers fail completely when used with double differenced observations.

Incorporating spatial variation in housing attribute prices: a comparison of geographically weighted regression and the spatial expansion method 总被引:10,自引:3,他引:7
Christopher Bitter Gordon F. Mulligan Sandy Dall’erba 《Journal of Geographical Systems》2007,9(1):7-27
Hedonic house price models typically impose a constant price structure on housing characteristics throughout an entire market
area. However, there is increasing evidence that the marginal prices of many important attributes vary over space, especially
within large markets. In this paper, we compare two approaches to examine spatial heterogeneity in housing attribute prices
within the Tucson, Arizona housing market: the spatial expansion method and geographically weighted regression (GWR). Our
results provide strong evidence that the marginal price of key housing characteristics varies over space. GWR outperforms
the spatial expansion method in terms of explanatory power and predictive accuracy.

The location of new homes defines the urban–rural fringe and determines many facets of the urban–rural interaction set in
motion by construction of new homes in previously rural areas. Home, neighborhood and school district characteristics play
a crucial role in determining the spatial location of new residential construction, which in turn defines the boundary and
spatial extent of the urban–rural fringe. We develop and apply a spatial hedonic variant of the Blinder (J Hum Resour 8:436–455,
1973) and Oaxaca (Int Econ Rev 9:693–709, 1973) price decomposition to newer versus older home sales in the Columbus, Ohio metropolitan area during the year 2000. The preferences
of buyers of newer homes are compared to those who purchased the nearest neighboring older home located in the same census
block group, during the same year. Use of the nearest older home purchased in the same location represents a methodology to
control for various neighborhood, social–economic-demographic and school district characteristics that influence home prices.
Since newer homes reflect current preferences for home characteristics while older homes reflect past preferences for these
characteristics, we use the price differentials between newer and older home sales in the Blinder–Oaxaca decomposition to
assess the relative significance of various house characteristics to home buyers.

Small-scale irregularities in the background electron density of the ionosphere can cause rapid fluctuations in the amplitude
and phase of radio signals passing through it. These rapid fluctuations are known as scintillation and can cause a Global
Positioning System (GPS) receiver to lose lock on a signal. This could compromise the integrity of a safety of life system
based on GPS, operating in auroral regions. In this paper, the relationship between the loss of lock on GPS signals and ionospheric
scintillation in auroral regions is explored. The period from 8 to 14 November 2004 is selected for this study, as it includes
both geomagnetically quiet and disturbed conditions. Phase and amplitude scintillation are measured by GPS receivers located
at three sites in Northern Scandinavia, and correlated with losses of signal lock in receivers at varying distances from the
scintillation receivers. Local multi-path effects are screened out by rejection of low-elevation data from the analysis. The
results indicate that losses of lock are more closely related to rapid fluctuations in the phase rather than the amplitude
of the received signal. This supports the idea, suggested by Humphreys et al. (2005) (performance of GPS carrier tracking loops during ionospheric scintillations. Proceedings Internationsl Ionospheric Effects
Symposium 3–5 May 2005), that a wide loop bandwidth may be preferred for receivers operating at auroral latitudes. Evidence from the Imaging Riometer
for Ionospheric Studies (IRIS) appears to suggest that, for this particular storm, precipitation of particles in the D/E regions
may be the mechanism that drives the rapid phase fluctuations in the signal.

Latent lifestyle preferences and household location decisions 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Lifestyle, indicating preferences towards a particular way of living, is a key driver of the decision of where to live. We
employ latent class choice models to represent this behavior, where the latent classes are the lifestyles and the choice model
is the choice of residential location. Thus, we simultaneously estimate lifestyle groups and how lifestyle impacts location
decisions. Empirical results indicate three latent lifestyle segments: suburban dwellers, urban dwellers, and transit-riders.
The suggested lifestyle segments have intriguing policy implications. Lifecycle characteristics are used to predict lifestyle
preferences, although there remain significant aspects that cannot be explained by observable variables.

Artificial neural networks for predicting DGPS carrier phase and pseudorange correction 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Arif Indriyatmoko Taesam Kang Young Jae Lee Gyu-In Jee Yong Beom Cho Jeongrae Kim 《GPS Solutions》2008,12(4):237-247
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) were used to predict the differential global positioning system (DGPS) pseudorange and carrier
phase correction information. Autoregressive moving average (ARMA) and autoregressive (AR) models were bounded with neural
networks to provide predictions of the correction. The neural network was employed to realize time-varying implementation.
Online training for real-time prediction of the carrier phase enhances the continuity of service of the differential correction
signals and, therefore, improves the positioning accuracy. When the correction signal from the DGPS was lost, the artificial
neural networks predicted the correction data with good accuracy for the navigation system during a limited period. Comparisons
of the prediction results using the two models are given.

Many kinematic GPS applications rely on high accuracy, which usually requires the ambiguities to be fixed. Normally, a reference station in the rover’s vicinity is needed for successful ambiguity resolution. Alternatively, a network surrounding the rover and allowing one to derive area correction parameters is needed. Unfortunately, both approaches are not feasible in certain situations. This paper is a contribution to precise kinematic positioning over long baselines. Atmospheric refraction becomes critical in the error budget, but progress has been made to use numerical weather models to derive tropospheric corrections, for instance. The spatial correlation of both ionospheric and tropospheric propagation delays is investigated in this paper and special attention is paid on the systematic error behavior of tropospheric refraction. The principles developed are applied to an extended reliability test of the ambiguities. Finally, it is demonstrated in positioning experiments that kinematic positioning retrieval with fixed ambiguities is actually possible for baselines between 150 and 300 km with an accuracy of approximately 2 cm in post-mission processing.

Hidden negative spatial autocorrelation 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
Daniel A. Griffith 《Journal of Geographical Systems》2006,8(4):335-355
Mostly lip service treatments of negative spatial autocorrelation (NSA) appear in the literature, although spatial scientists confront it in practice. NSA was detected serendipitously in recalcitrant empirical analyses containing a sizeable amount of global positive spatial autocorrelation (PSA) unaccounted for by standard spatial statistical models, and labeled hidden because conventional spatial statistical tools detected only PSA while giving absolutely not hint of NSA existing. The meaning of this phenomenon is explored empirically, with findings including: a better understanding of NSA, spatial filter model construction guidelines, effective illustrations of NSA, and how hidden NSA furnishes a diagnostic for model misspecification.

The ecological fallacy (EF) is a common problem regional scientists have to deal with when using aggregated data in their analyses. Although there is a wide number of studies considering different aspects of this problem, little attention has been paid to the potential negative effects of the EF in a time series context. Using Spanish regional unemployment data, this paper shows that EF effects are not only observed at the cross-section level, but also in a time series framework. The empirical evidence obtained shows that analytical regional configurations are the least susceptible to time effects relative to both normative and random regional configurations, while normative configurations are an improvement over random ones.

Modeling the geologic architecture of an aquifer and visualizing its three-dimensional structure require lithologic data recorded
during well drilling. Uncertainties in layer boundaries arise due to questionable quality of drilling records, mixing during
the drilling process, which results in blurred contacts, and natural heterogeneity of the geologic materials. An approach
for modeling and visualizing the spatial distribution of aquifer units three-dimensionally based on fuzzy set theory is developed.
An indicator is defined for evaluating the possibility of aquifer existence based on fuzzy set theory and probability principles.
A specific interpolation method for aquifer 3D spatial distribution requiring only very basic borehole log data is proposed.
A 3D modeling and visualization system for aquifers is also developed, which can implement basic GIS functions, like borehole
identification and cross-section creation. The methodology developed is tested using real borehole lithology data available
for an aquifer in British Columbia, Canada.

The accuracy of standalone GPS positioning improved significantly when Selective Availability was turned off in May 2000. With the availability of various public GPS related products including precise satellite orbits and clocks, and ionosphere maps, a single-frequency standalone user can experience even a further improvement of the position accuracy. Next, using carrier phase measurements becomes crucial to smoothen the pseudorange noise. In this contribution, the most critical sources of error in single-frequency standalone positioning will be reviewed and different approaches to mitigate the errors will be considered. An optimal filter (using also carrier phase measurements) will be deployed. The final approach will then be evaluated in a decently long static test with receivers located in different regions of the world. Kinematic experiments have also been performed in various scenarios including a highly dynamic flight trial. The accuracy, in general, can be confirmed at 0.5 m horizontal and 1 m vertical, with static tests. Ultimate results demonstrate an accuracy close to 2 dm (95%) for the horizontal position components and 5 dm (95%) for the vertical in the flight experiment.
