报告简介  Abstract

For analysis of spatial temporal data from a functional perspective, a heuristic extension of  Karhunen-Loeve expansion is often used to decompose such data into temporal components and spatially correlated random fields. This structure provides a convenient tool to investigate the space-time interactions, but may not always hold for complex situations. In this work, we introduce a new concept of weak separability, and propose formal testing procedures to examine the validity of the heuristic Karhunen-Loeve decomposition. Asymptotic properties are studied to avoid using resampling procedures, e.g. bootstrap. Both parametric and nonparametric approaches are developed to estimate the asymptotic covariance by constructing lagged type estimators. We demonstrate the efficacy of our method via simulations, and illustrate the usefulness using two real examples: Harvard forest data and China PM2.5 data.
