Interval-valued kriging for geostatistical mapping with imprecise inputs
From MaRDI portal
Publication:2069049
Abstract: Many geosciences data are imprecise due to various limitations and uncertainties in the measuring process. One way to preserve this imprecision in a geostatistical mapping framework is to characterize the measurements as intervals rather than single values. To effectively analyze the interval-valued data, this paper proposes and develops interval-valued kriging models based on the theory of random sets and a generalized L2 metric. These models overcome the mathematical difficulties of a previous development and are computationally more feasible. Numerical implementation of our interval-valued kriging is provided using a penalty-based constrained optimization algorithm. An application to the prediction of design ground snow loads in Utah, USA, is presented that demonstrates the advantages of the proposed models in preserving crucial sources of uncertainty towards a more efficient risk-based designing scheme.
Kriging is one of the most applied tool in geostatistics. Due to various limitations the used data are often imprecise and should be modelled as interval-valued data or fuzzy-valued data. This paper proposes a modification to Diamond's interval-valued kriging [\textit{P. Diamond}, Math. Geol. 20, No. 3, 145--165 (1988; Zbl 0970.86500)]. In contrast to Diamond it plays a key role that the authors use not a interval-valued variance and covariance but a real-valued one which goes back to \textit{R. Körner} [Fuzzy Sets Syst. 92, No. 1, 83--93 (1997; Zbl 0936.60017)]. The resulting interval-valued kriging overcomes many of the mathematical and computational difficulties of previous attempts. The numerical implementations are presented in R packages. The proposed method is applied to kriging of design ground snow loads in Ohio.
