Exploratory Designs for Assessing Spatial Dependence

Optimising sampling designs for the maximum coverage problem of plume detection

“…The effort can be very high as often many configurations have to be tested to add a sensor. Fussl et al (2013) used greedy search to find the optimal design to decide if there is spatial autocorrelation in a setting with topological neighbourhood; to limit the effort they only tested deletion of sensors. Holan and Wikle (2013) modelled the utility of sensor locations in a non-Gaussian field in space-time by Monte Carlo simulations and Extended Kalman Filter.…”
