Spatial Varying Graphical Models for Water Pollutants
摘要
This work shows how Gaussian Graphical Models (GGMs) varying on a spatial network offer an effective means to accurately portray the conditional dependence relationships among water pollutants observed on a fluvial network. The motivating case study involves evaluating the quality of water bodies in the Piedmont region. In environmental sciences, representing variable relationships through estimated graphs proves both practical and advantageous. After estimating all graphs over a spatial network, it will be possible to identify spatially varying clusters of variables across the fluvial network
