Southland-South Otago Geochemical Baseline Survey, New Zealand

Spatial Factor Model (Results)

  • Response is recorded in log-parts-per-billion
  • Continuous predictor variables are standardised
  • Model parameters f, α, φ, and σ² are independent of selected element
  • Parameter summaries are given as posterior means and 95% credible intervals; these are delineated on each plot with solid and dashed vertical lines respectively, and appear as the titles in the form [ MEAN (LOWER CI, UPPER CI) ]
  • Where useful to the interpretation of the parameters, a vertical red dotted line marks off zero
  • To refer to these results, please cite Davies TM, Banerjee S, Martin AP, Turnbull RE (2022) A nearest-neighbour Gaussian process spatial factor model for censored, multi-depth geochemical data, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C (Applied Statistics), [to appear].
