Model-Based Clustering of Spatial Time Series Through the BayesMix library
摘要
In this work, we consider time series of daily concentrations of PM \(_{10}\) monitored in Lombardia and Emilia-Romagna during 2018. With the aim of clustering those spatial time series, we propose a Bayesian nonparametric mixture of autoregressive processes and assume as mixing measure a spatial product partition model. We focus on the implementation of this model into BayesMix, a new C++ library for Bayesian inference on nonparametric mixture models via Markov Chain Monte Carlo. The main feature of this library is its extensibility, which guarantees a seamless integration of new classes of mixture models, like the one we introduce in this paper, without compromising efficiency.
