Abstract

To analyze lattice or areal data, a conditionally autoregressive (CAR) model has been widely used in the eld of spatial analysis. The spatial neighborhoods within CAR model are generally formed using only inter-distance or boundaries between regions. Kyung and Ghosh (2010) proposed a new class of models to accommodate spatial variations that may depend on directions. The proposed model, a directional conditionally autoregressive (DCAR) model, generalized the usual CAR model by accounting for spatial anisotropy. Properties of maximum likelihood estimators of a Gaussian DCAR are discussed. The method is illustrated using a data set of median property prices across Greater Glasgow, Scotland, in 2008.

공간통계 방법 중 지역에 대한 어떤 집합체 자료나 평균자료들을 분석하는데 일반적으로 공간적 자기회귀(conditionally autoregressive) 모형을 사용한다. 공간적 자기회귀 모형에 정의되는 공간적 이웃 소지역들은 중점의 거리나 근접성으로 정의된다. Kyung과 Ghosh (2010)는 방향에 따라서 이웃간 자기상관성의 크기가 다른 공간적 확장 모형을 제시하였다. 제안된 방향적 조건부 자기회귀(directional conditionally autoregressive) 모형은 고유 이방성을 모형화하여 기존의 CAR과정을 일반화한다. 제시한 방향적 조건부 자기회귀모형의 최대우도 추정량의 특성에 대해 설명하였고, 스코틀랜드 그레이터 글래스고우의 로그변환된 부동산 가격에 적용하여 조건부 자기회귀모형과 비교하였다.
