Q

Semivariance

A

Expressing the rate of change of a regionalized variable along a specific orientation. Measuring a degree of spatial dependence between observations along a specific support. i.e. if the spacing is delta, the semivariance can be estimated for multiple times of delta

25
Frequency bands
Spectral resolution, multiples of 1/T
26
Ensemble
Complete set of time frequencies
27
Homogeneous
Spatial time series with the same characteristics
28
First-order stationary
When all segments tend to have the same mean, as well as the mean of the entire timeseries
29
Second-order stationary/weak stationarity
If autocovariance changes only with lag and not with the position along the time serie
30
Strongly stationary
If only dependent on lag and not the position
31
Ergodic ensemble
If not pm;y strongly stationary but all statistics are invariant
32
Self-stationary
If all segments of the timeseries are the same in variance and mean
33
Leveling or detrending
Subtracting a linear trend of observations resulting in stationary mean
34
Bin averaging
Smoothed periodogram by applying a filter
35
Segment averaging
Averaged periodogram of overlapped windowed segments of a timeserie, more reliable but losing resolution
36
Fundamental frequency
minimal frequency 1/(N*dt)
37
Spectral leakage
Results in leakage of energy to neighbouring frequencies
38
Tapering
Preventing spectral leakage by isolating a part of the frequency i.e. Hanning or
39
Contouring
Drawing line between points where certain values are located in. i.e. everything below this line is 10 above 20
40
Contouring by computer
Done by mathematical calculations and extrapolation between points
41
Contouring by triangulation
Drawing lines between controlpoints forming a triangular grid without lines crossing, drawing lines on interpolated points
42
Contouring by gridding
placing a grid over your data points and calculating the grid nodes by interpolating between control points. Weights can be applied to data points to make more accurate estimations. This can be done with quadrant/octant searches or by nearest neightbour
43
(problems in contouring)Edge effects
on the edge of the grid control points might be far away, therefore a wrongly chosen angle or unrealistic gradients may be projected
44
(problems in contouring)Zero isopach
Using (0,0) to avoid negative values, but those could be realistic
45
(problems in contouring) faulted surfaces
Cliff etc can be ignored when interpolating
46
Kriging
Estimation of the surface at any unsampled location, linear regression technique by neighbours. Requires prior knowledge in form of a model of the semivariogram or spatial variance. It varies from regular linear regression by not assuming independent variates
47
Simple kriging
3 assumptions: 1: observations are partial realizationg of random function Z(x) 2: Random function is second-order stationary, so mean spatial covariance and semivariance do not depend on x 3: mean is known
48
Kriging estimator
weighted average of values at control point Z(x)
49
Ordinary kriging
1: observations are partial realizationg of random function Z(x) 2: Random function is second-order stationary, so mean spatial covariance and semivariance do not depend on x 3: mean is estimated to be constant
50
Univsersal kriging
First order nonstationary treated with drift and resuduals 1: observations are partial realizationg of random function Z(x) 2: Random function is second-order stationary, so mean spatial covariance and semivariance do not depend on x
51
Factor analysis (R-Mode)
extracting eigenvectors from all possible pairs of objects
52
Factor analysis(Q-Mode)
samples regarded as being taken from a much larger population
53
Single value decomposition
Taking the mean of a column of the matrix then subtracting it from that column. [X] = [V] [S] [U'] [U] = Spatial [S] = Spectrum/ relates to variance [V] = Temporal
54
Principal vector
Vector full of loadings
55
Loadings
Represent the proportion or weighting that must be assigned to each variable in order to project the objects onto the principal vectors as scores
56
Principal Component Analysis
eigenvectors of a variance-covariance matrix or a correlation matrix
57
Principal axes
yield of the eigenvectors of the variance-covariance matrix/correlation matrix, eigenvalues half of the lengths of successive principal axis
58
Semi axes
Eigenvalue are the legnths
59
Prinicple component score
Projection of data point on the new axis
60
Principle component loading
Characterizes the spread in values in the direction of PC1
61
Emprical Orthogonal Function analysis
Extract coherent patterns in large spatio-temporal data sets temporal data sets. PCA on repeated measurements of a single type of variable at multiple location
62
Spatial EOF
Looking at the space part
63
Temporal EOF
Looking at the time part
64
