Geographic Information System (GIS) software is constrained, to a greater or lesser extent, by a static world view that is not well-suited to the representation of time (Goodchild 2000). Space Time Intelligence System (STIS) software holds the promise of relaxing some of the technological constraints of spatial only GIS, making possible visualization approaches and analysis methods that are appropriate for temporally dynamic geospatial data. This special issue of the Journal of Geographical Systems describes some recent advances in STIS technology and methods, with an emphasis on applications in public health and spatial epidemiology.The STIS expert workshops were funded in part by grants R01CA092669 and R01CA096002 from the National Cancer Institute, and by grants R43-ES010220 and R44-ES010220 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Gillian AvRuskin provided cheerful editorial assistance. We thank the participants at the workshops for providing invaluable expertise and critical insights. 相似文献

Geostatistical incorporation of spatial coordinates into supervised classification of hyperspectral data 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
P. Goovaerts 《Journal of Geographical Systems》2002,4(1):99-111
This paper presents a methodology to incorporate both hyperspectral properties and spatial coordinates of pixels in maximum
likelihood classification. Indicator kriging of ground data is used to estimate, for each pixel, the prior probabilities of
occurrence of classes which are then combined with spectral-based probabilities within a Bayesian framework. In the case study
(mapping of in-stream habitats), accounting for spatial coordinates increases the overall producer's accuracy from 85.8% to
93.8%, while the Kappa statistic rises from 0.74 to 0.88. Best results are obtained using only indicator kriging-based probabilities,
with a stunning overall accuracy of 97.2%. Significant improvements are observed for environmentally important units, such
as pools (Kappa: 0.17 to 0.74) and eddy drop zones (Kappa: 0.65 to 0.87). The lack of benefit of using hyperspectral information
in the present study can be explained by the dense network of ground observations and the high spatial continuity of field
classification which might be spurious.

This paper presents both estimation and simulation as optimization problems that differ in the optimization criteria, minimization of a local expected loss for estimation and reproduction of global statistics (semivariogram, histogram) for simulation. An intermediate approach is proposed whereby an initial random image is gradually modified using simulated annealing so as to better match both local and global constraints. The relative weights of the different constraints in the objective function allow the user to strike a balance between smoothness of the estimated map and reproduction of spatial variability by simulated maps. The procedure is illustrated using a synthetic dataset. The proposed approach is shown to enhance the influence of observations on neighboring simulated values, hence the final realizations appear to be better conditioned to the sample information. It also produces maps that are more accurate (smaller prediction error) than stochastic simulation ignoring local constraints, but not as accurate as E-type estimation. Flow simulation results show that accounting for local constraints yields, on average, smaller errors in production forecast than a smooth estimated map or a simulated map that reproduces only the histogram and semivariogram. The approach thus reduces the risk associated with the use of a single realization for forecasting and planning. 相似文献

Two different deterministic and two alternative stochastic (i.e., geostatistical) approaches to modeling the distribution of hydraulic conductivity (K) in a nonuniform (sigma2ln(K)) = 0.29) glacial sand aquifer were used to explore the influence of conceptual model selection on simulations of three-dimensional tracer movement. The deterministic K models employed included a homogeneous effective K and a perfectly stratified 14 layer model. Stochastic K models were constructed using sequential Gaussian simulation and sequential i ndicator simulation conditioned to available K values estimated from measured grain size distributions. Standard simulation software packages MODFLOW, MT3DMS, and MODPATH were used to model three-dimensional ground water flow and transport in a field tracer test, where a pulse of bromide was injected through an array of three fully screened wells and extracted through a single fully screened well approximately 8 m away. Agreement between observed and simulated transport behavior was assessed through direct comparison of breakthrough curves (BTCs) and selected breakthrough metrics at the extraction well and at 26 individual multilevel sample ports distributed irregularly between the injection and extraction wells. Results indicate that conceptual models incorporating formation variability are better able to capture observed breakthrough behavior. Root mean square (RMS) error of the deterministic models bracketed the ensemble mean RMS error of stochastic models for simulated concentration vs. time series, but not for individual BTC characteristic metrics. The spatial variability models evaluated here may be better suited to simulating breakthrough behavior measured in wells screened over large intervals than at arbitrarily distributed observation points within a nonuniform aquifer domain. 相似文献

The analysis of health data and putative covariates, such as environmental, socio-economic, behavioral or demographic factors,
is a promising application for geostatistics. However, it presents several methodological challenges that arise from the fact
that data is typically aggregated over irregular spatial supports and consists of a numerator and a denominator (e.g., population
size). This paper presents an overview of recent developments in the field of health geostatistics, with an emphasis on three
main steps in the analysis of areal health data: (1) estimation of the underlying disease risk, (2) detection of areas with
significantly higher risk, and (3) analysis of relationships with putative risk factors. The analysis is illustrated by using
age-adjusted cervix cancer mortality rates recorded from 1970 to 1994 of 118 counties in four Western USA states. Poisson
kriging allows the filtering of noisy mortality rates computed from small population sizes, enhancing the correlation with
two putative explanatory variables: percentage of habitants living below the federally defined poverty line, and percentage
of Hispanic females. Area-to-point kriging formulation creates continuous maps of mortality risk, reducing the visual bias
associated with the interpretation of choropleth maps. Stochastic simulation is used to generate realizations of cancer mortality
maps, which allows one to quantify how uncertainty of the spatial distribution of health outcomes translates into uncertainty
of the location of clusters of high values or the correlation with covariates. Finally, geographically-weighted regression
highlights the non-stationarity in the explanatory power of covariates; the higher mortality values along the coast are better
explained by the two covariates than the lower risk recorded in Utah. 相似文献

Comparative performance of indicator algorithms for modeling conditional probability distribution functions 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
P. Goovaerts 《Mathematical Geology》1994,26(3):389-411
This paper compares the performance of four algorithms (full indicator cokriging. adjacent cutoffs indicator cokriging, multiple indicator kriging, median indicator kriging) for modeling conditional cumulative distribution functions (ccdf).The latter three algorithms are approximations to the theoretically better full indicator cokriging in the sense that they disregard cross-covariances between some indicator variables or they consider that all covariances are proportional to the same function. Comparative performance is assessed using a reference soil data set that includes 2649 locations at which both topsoil copper and cobalt were measured. For all practical purposes, indicator cokriging does not perform better than the other simpler algorithms which involve less variogram modeling effort and smaller computational cost. Furthermore, the number of order relation deviations is found to be higher for cokriging algorithms, especially when constraints on the kriging weights are applied. 相似文献

The magnitude of kriging errors varies in accordance with the surface properties. The purpose of this paper is to determine the association of ordinary kriging (OK) estimated errors with the local variability of surface roughness, and to analyse the suitability of probabilistic models for predicting the magnitude of OK errors from surface parameters. This task includes determining the terrain parameters in order to explain the variation in the magnitude of OK errors. The results of this research indicate that the higher order regression models, with complex interaction terms, were able to explain 95 per cent of the variation in the OK error magnitude using the least number of predictors. In addition, the results underscore the importance of the role of the local diversity of relief properties in increasing or decreasing the magnitude of interpolation errors. The newly developed dissectivity parameters provide useful information for terrain analysis. Our study also provides constructive guides to understanding the local variation of interpolation errors and their dependence on surface dissectivity. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Stochastic simulation of categorical variables using a classification algorithm and simulated annealing 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4

An important step of reservoir characterization is the stochastic modeling of the geometry of lithofacies which control large-scale heterogeneities of petrophysical properties. Although multiple realizations are necessary to appreciate the uncertainty in the spatial distribution of facies, a common short cut consists of retaining the first realization drawn. This paper presents an alternative to this potentially hazardous selection: (1) a categorical map is generated by allocating a single facies to each grid node according to the local probabilities of occurrence of the facies, and (2) the map then is post-processed using a steepest descent-type algorithm so as to improve reproduction of spatial continuity and transition probabilities between facies. The procedure is illustrated using a synthetic dataset. A waterflood simulation shows that retaining a single realization would yield, in average, larger errors in production forecasts (water cuts and recovered oil) than the single postprocessed facies map. 相似文献

We examined the impact of temporal dependence between patterns of error in classified time-series imagery through a simulation modeling approach. This research extended the land-cover-change simulation model we previously developed to investigate: (1) the assumption of temporal independence between patterns of error in classified time-series imagery; and (2) the interaction of patterns of change and patterns of error in a post-classification change analysis. In this research, the thematic complexity of the classified land-cover maps was increased by increasing the number of simulated land-cover classes. Simulating maps with increased categorical resolution permitted the incorporation of: (1) higher-order, more complex spatial and temporal interactions between land-cover classes; and (2) patterns of error that better reproduce the complex error interactions that often occur in time-series classified imagery. The overall modeling framework was divided into two primary components: (1) generation of a map representing true change; and (2) generation of a suite of change maps that had been perturbed by specific patterns of error. All component maps in the model were produced using simulated annealing, which enabled us to create a series of map realizations with user-defined spatial and temporal patterns. Comparing the true map of change to the error-perturbed maps of change using accuracy assessment statistics showed that increasing the temporal dependence between classification errors did not improve the accuracy of resulting maps of change when the categorical scale of the land-cover classified maps was increased. The increased structural complexity within the time series of maps effectively inhibited the impact of temporal dependence. However, results demonstrated that there are interactions between patterns of error and patterns of change in a post-classification change analysis. These interactions played a major role in determining the accuracy associated with the maps of change. 相似文献

Spatial orthogonality of the principal components computed from coregionalized variables 总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6
P. Goovaerts 《Mathematical Geology》1993,25(3):281-302
Within the frame of the linear model of coregionalization, this paper sets up equations relating the variogram matrix of the principal components extracted from the variance-covariance matrix to the diagonal variogram matrices of the regionalized factors. The spatial orthogonality of the principal components is investigated in three situations: the intrinsic correlation, two basic structures with independent nugget components, three basic structures with independent nugget components and uncorrelated subsets of variables. Two examples point out that the correlation between the principal components may be nonnegligible at short distances, especially if the correlation structure changes according to the spatial scale considered. For one of the two case studies, an orthogonal varimax rotation of the first principal components is found to greatly reduce the spatial correlation between some of them. 相似文献
