Abstract
This paper presents a Bayesian adaptive Lasso estimation approach for partially linear hierarchical spatial autoregressive models. Despite advancements in spatial modeling, two key gaps remain: the lack of non-linear components in hierarchical spatial autoregressive models to capture complex spatial relationships, and the insufficient application of dimensionality reduction techniques to address high-dimensionality and overfitting. This paper addresses these issues by combining partially linear models with spatial autoregressive structures and incorporating dimensionality reduction techniques to enhance model efficiency and mitigate overfitting. The hierarchical structure facilitates multi-level modeling, accommodating complex data relationships. The Bayesian adaptive Lasso technique ensures effective variable selection and regularization, improving model interpretability and performance. Simulations and real data applications demonstrate the proposed method’s excellent performance. This work offers valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in dealing with spatially correlated data in various fields.
期刊介绍:
Spatial Statistics publishes articles on the theory and application of spatial and spatio-temporal statistics. It favours manuscripts that present theory generated by new applications, or in which new theory is applied to an important practical case. A purely theoretical study will only rarely be accepted. Pure case studies without methodological development are not acceptable for publication.
Spatial statistics concerns the quantitative analysis of spatial and spatio-temporal data, including their statistical dependencies, accuracy and uncertainties. Methodology for spatial statistics is typically found in probability theory, stochastic modelling and mathematical statistics as well as in information science. Spatial statistics is used in mapping, assessing spatial data quality, sampling design optimisation, modelling of dependence structures, and drawing of valid inference from a limited set of spatio-temporal data.
