摘要

This study develops a model that accounts for spatial and temporal heterogeneity in skewness and kurtosis to quantify uncertainty in spatio-temporal data. The proposed regression model, based on an extended flexible subclass of the closed skew-normal distribution (EFS-CSN), accommodates heterogeneous higher-order moments while preserving the mean and variance. This property ensures the interpretability of the regression coefficients and other parameters, as in conventional normal regression models. We also develop a fast Bayesian sampling procedure by exploiting conjugacy via data augmentation techniques. The estimation accuracy and predictive performance of the proposed EFS-CSN model are evaluated through Monte Carlo experiments. Lastly, the model is used to analyze state-level production functions in the United States.
