Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Geostatistics and spatial statistics have been increasingly applied in social, health, physical, agricultural and environmental sciences in both developing and developed countries. Geostatistics and spatial statistics techniques involve statistical concepts and applications to geospatial data, which allow solutions of location-based complex problems and geotargeted interventions in various fields. This Special Issue focuses on the applications of current advances in geostatistics and spatial statistics. It is therefore anticipated that this Special Issue will provide a conducive environment for scientists, researchers, academics and other professionals to showcase their latest methods and applications in the fields of geostatistics and spatial statistics. This will help to promote future research in these growing fields of geostatistics and spatial statistics. Therefore, contributions of original and high-quality research papers are cordially invited.

In this paper, a multi-point geostatistical (MPS) method based on variational function partition simulation is proposed to solve the key problem of MPS 3D modeling using 2D training images. The new method uses the FILTERSIM algorithm framework, and the variational function is used to construct simulation partitions and training image sequences, and only a small number of training images close to the unknown nodes are used in the partition simulation to participate in the MPS simulation. To enhance the reliability, a new covariance filter is also designed to capture the diverse features of the training patterns and allow the filter to downsize the training patterns from any direction; in addition, an information entropy method is used to reconstruct the whole 3D space by selecting the global optimal solution from several locally similar training patterns. The stability and applicability of the new method in complex geological modeling are demonstrated by analyzing the parameter sensitivity and algorithm performance. A geological model of a uranium deposit is simulated to test the pumping of five reserved drill holes, and the results show that the accuracy of the simulation results of the new method is improved by 11.36% compared with the traditional MPS method.

By using stochastic modeling, the investigation of the energy and wave characteristics of novel structures that develop in the sea and ocean currents becomes one of the most important advancements in the generation of sustainable and renewable energy. Theoretical examinations of random nonlinear Kundu–Mukherjee–Naskar (RNKMN) structures have become recommended in a random mode. The two-dimensional RNKMN equation permits exact and solved solutions that give rise to solitonic structures with adaptable properties. The obtained stochastic waves, under the influence of random water currents, represent a dynamically controlled system. It has been demonstrated that the stochastic parameter modulates wave forcing and produces energy wave collapse accompanied by medium turbulence. The fundamental wave characteristics establish an exact pattern for describing sea and ocean waves. Full article

In this article, we present a hyperbolic secant-squared distribution via the nonlinear evolution equation. Namely, for this equation, the probability density function of the hyperbolic secant-squared (HSS) distribution has been determined. The density of our model has a variety of shapes, including symmetric, left-skewed, and right-skewed. Eight distinct frequent list estimation methods have been proposed for estimating the parameters of our models. Additionally, these estimation techniques have been used to examine the behavior of the HSS model parameters using data sets that were generated randomly. To demonstrate how the findings may be used to model real data using the HSS distribution, we also use real data. Finally, the proposed justification can be applied to a variety of other complex physical models. Full article

Geostatistics data in regions always have highly spatial heterogeneous, yet the regional features of the data itself cannot be ignored. In this paper, a novel latent Bayesian spatial model is proposed, which incorporates the spatial dependence of different subjects and the spatial random effects to further analysis the influence of spatial effect. The model is verified to be compatible with the integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) framework and is fitted using INLA and stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE). The posterior marginal distribution of parameters is estimated with high precision. Additionally, a practical application of the model is presented using tuberculosis (TB) incidence data in China from 2015 to 2019. The results show that the fitting accuracy of our model is higher than the general Bayesian spatial model using INLA-SPDE. Full article
