A new spatial regression estimator in the multivariate context
Abstract
In this note, we propose a nonparametric spatial estimator of the regression function View the MathML sourcex→r(x):=E[Yi|Xi=x],x∈Rd, of a stationary (d+1)(d+1)-dimensional spatial process View the MathML source{(Yi,Xi),i∈ZN}, at a point located at some station j. The proposed estimator depends on two kernels in order to control both the distance between observations and the spatial locations. Almost complete convergence and consistency in LqLq norm (q∈N⁎)(q∈N⁎) of the kernel estimate are obtained when the sample considered is an α-mixing sequence.
