Checking for temporal autocorrelation in experience sampling data - how to interpret the variogram?

I have day-level data from about 100 participants from 11 days (EDIT. a subset of participants responded for 12 days, which is why there's a distance of 11 in the variogram table). I'm interested in ...

Creating a Variogram-like plot with distances

I have a dataset of points in space, sampled at a specified time. Now i want to obtain a 'spatial correlation plot, only between points close in time'. What i did is creating a dataframe of pairs of ...

Variogram of categorial data?

I have a thematic map as raster data with classes assigned as numbers: 1,2,3,4. These are categorial classes and have no linear meaning. I am interested if there is spatial autocorrelation in this ...

I am not sure if my data are spatially autocorrelated or not.

I have been trying to figure out if my data are spatially autocorrelated by generating semivariogram of the residuals. I do not get the shape similar to any variogram (spherical, exponential or ...

Why is my semivariance so high?

I am using variograms checking for spatial autocorrelation in a resiudal pattern produced by a GLMM-NB. In theory, the semivariance should be bounded between 0 and 1 (that´s what I think at least as I ...

What does it mean that a variogram keeps increasing with distance?

I am modeling my 3D dataset with a Gaussian Process with square-exponential covariance. To test whether this is a good model, I subtract the mean from the observed data and then calculate the ...

Variogram with custom distance matrix

I work in marine ecology and as such all of my distance matrices are constructed using the shortest possible marine route - i.e. avoiding any land. Here is a plot of my "marine distances" against "as ...

Deriving the ordinary kriging equations with noisy data

I am trying to derive the ordinary kriging equations when I want to estimate the underlying value at $T(x_0)$ from the noisy observations at its neighbors $Z(x_1),....Z(x_n)$. $Z(x_0) = T(x_0) + \...

How to recover the underlying observations from the noisy ones using gaussian processes

I have some simulated experiments where I generate some samples with an exponential correlation function. I am assuming a spatial grid whose variables form a multivariate gaussian distribution with an ...

Confusion related to estimation of nugget

I am generating some simulated data from a multivariate gaussian distribution with a covariance matrix sigma. To add some noise, I added an identity matrix to the covariance matrix which depicts ...

Estimating the autocorrelation function with some noisy observations

I am wondering how to estimate the actual correlation function when I have some noisy samples of some space. Lets say, I have a space and the locations in the space are variables following a ...

how to generate samples with the given autocorrelation function [duplicate]

I want to generate some spatial data where the points/location in the space form a multivariate gaussian distribution. I want these points to have certain autocorrelation given by the variogram model ...

Calculating R-squared values from a semivariogram

I have some spatially autocorrelated vegetation data, and would like to know the how well tree size measured at one location can predict tree size in plots 100m away. I've made a semivariogram of ...

Is there an intuitive interpretation of a negative variogram "nugget" value?

A variogram plots the variance of the difference between sample pairs on a field (any dimensionality) against spatial separation (the "lag") of those samples. The extrapolation from observed small-...
