Fixed-Domain Asymptotics Under Vecchia's Approximation of Spatial Process Likelihoods
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Statistical modeling for massive spatial data sets has generated a substantial literature on scalable spatial processes based upon Vecchia's approximation. Vecchia's approximation for Gaussian process models enables fast evaluation of the likelihood by restricting dependencies at a location to its neighbors. We establish inferential properties of microergodic spatial covariance parameters within the paradigm of fixed-domain asymptotics when they are estimated using Vecchia's approximation. The conditions required to formally establish these properties are explored, theoretically and empirically, and the effectiveness of Vecchia's approximation is further corroborated from the standpoint of fixed-domain asymptotics.
