A Composite Likelihood Approach to Binary Spatial Data
Abstract
Conventional geostatistics addresses the problem of estimation and prediction for continuous observations. But in many practical applications in public health, environmental remediation, or ecological research the most commonly available data are in the form of counts (e.g., number of cases) or indicator variables denoting above or below threshold values. Also, in many situations it is less expensive to obtain an imprecise categorical observation than to obtain precise measurements of the variable of interest (such as a contaminant). This article proposes a computationally simple method for estimation and prediction using binary or indicator data in space. The proposed method is based on pairwise likelihood contributions, and the large-sample properties of the estimators are obtained in a straightforward manner. We illustrate the methodology through application to indicator data related to gypsy moth defoliation in Massachusetts.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
