This contribution discusses the problemof providing measures of significance ofprediction results when the predictionswere generated from spatial databases forlandslide hazard mapping. The spatialdatabases usually contain map informationon lithologic units, land-cover units,topographic elevation...

Building the new countryside construction database plays an important role in improving the construction efficiency, and enhancing the level of major project management. On the basis of detailed analysis of features of the new countryside construction data, we give an overview of the database...

An asymptotic theory is developed for nonparametric and semiparametric series estimation under general cross-sectional dependence and heterogeneity. A uniform rate of consistency, asymptotic normality, and sufficient conditions for convergence, are established, and a data-driven studentization...

The generation and use of spatial information has significantly increased in recent years. Its importance has been magnified by the INSPIRE Directive, which has subsequently led to specific requirements within several legislative frameworks, such as the Water Framework and Noise Directives, for...

This paper reports the findings of a survey in 2009 of European practitioners who face problems related to accessing and using spatial data when preparing reports for Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEAs). The survey was designed to be comparable...

The article discusses an essential problem of spatial econometrics which is the construction of a spatial weight matrix. This matrix expresses potential spatial interactions between the researched areas and forms the basis for spatial analyses. The objective of the paper was to consider various...

Total and average per ton costs of land-applying manure demonstrate the importance of spatial factors on the potential effect of policy limits for water and air emissions. Per ton costs vary with the need to transport greater distances for land application, reflecting the spatial distribution of...

In the estimation of parametric models for stationary spatial or spatio-temporal data on a d-dimensional lattice, for d = 2, the achievement of asymptotic efficiency under Gaussianity, and asymptotic normality more generally, with standard convergence rate, faces two obstacles. One is the "edge...
