The algorithms used for optimal management of ambulances require accurate description and prediction of the spatio-temporal evolution of emergency interventions. In the last years, several authors have proposed sophisticated statistical approaches to forecast the ambulance dispatches, typically modelling the events as a point pattern occurring on a planar region. Nevertheless, ambulance interventions can be more appropriately modelled as a realisation of a point process occurring along a network of lines, such as a road network. The constrained spatial domain raises specific challenges and unique methodological problems that cannot be ignored when developing a proper statistical model. Hence, this paper proposes a spatiotemporal model to analyse the ambulance interventions that occurred in the road network of Milan (Italy) from 2015 to 2017. We adopt a non-separable first-order intensity function with spatial and temporal terms. The temporal component is estimated semi-parametrically using a Poisson regression model, while the spatial dimension is estimated nonparametrically using a network kernel function. A set of weights is included in the spatial term to capture space-time interactions, inducing non-separability in the intensity function. A series of maps and graphical tests show that our approach successfully models the ambulance interventions and captures the space-time patterns.

We develop a distribution-free, unsupervised anomaly detection method called ECAD, which wraps around any regression algorithm and sequentially detects anomalies. Rooted in conformal prediction, ECAD does not require data exchangeability but approxim
ately controls the Type-I error when data are normal. Computationally, it involves no data-splitting and efficiently trains ensemble predictors to increase statistical power. We demonstrate the superior performance of ECAD on detecting anomalous spatio-temporal traffic flow.
Gaussian random fields have been one of the most popular tools for analyzing spatial data. However, many geophysical and environmental processes often display non-Gaussian characteristics. In this paper, we propose a new class of spatial models for n
on-Gaussian random fields on a sphere based on a multi-resolution analysis. Using a special wavelet frame, named spherical needlets, as building blocks, the proposed model is constructed in the form of a sparse random effects model. The spatial localization of needlets, together with carefully chosen random coefficients, ensure the model to be non-Gaussian and isotropic. The model can also be expanded to include a spatially varying variance profile. The special formulation of the model enables us to develop efficient estimation and prediction procedures, in which an adaptive MCMC algorithm is used. We investigate the accuracy of parameter estimation of the proposed model, and compare its predictive performance with that of two Gaussian models by extensive numerical experiments. Practical utility of the proposed model is demonstrated through an application of the methodology to a data set of high-latitude ionospheric electrostatic potentials, generated from the LFM-MIX model of the magnetosphere-ionosphere system.
This paper proposes a spatio-temporal model for wind speed prediction which can be run at different resolutions. The model assumes that the wind prediction of a cluster is correlated to its upstream influences in recent history, and the correlation b
etween clusters is represented by a directed dynamic graph. A Bayesian approach is also described in which prior beliefs about the predictive errors at different data resolutions are represented in a form of Gaussian processes. The joint framework enhances the predictive performance by combining results from predictions at different data resolution and provides reasonable uncertainty quantification. The model is evaluated on actual wind data from the Midwest U.S. and shows a superior performance compared to traditional baselines.
Facing increasing domestic energy consumption from population growth and industrialization, Saudi Arabia is aiming to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and to broaden its energy mix by expanding investment in renewable energy sources, including win
d energy. A preliminary task in the development of wind energy infrastructure is the assessment of wind energy potential, a key aspect of which is the characterization of its spatio-temporal behavior. In this study we examine the impact of internal climate variability on seasonal wind power density fluctuations over Saudi Arabia using 30 simulations from the Large Ensemble Project (LENS) developed at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Furthermore, a spatio-temporal model for daily wind speed is proposed with neighbor-based cross-temporal dependence, and a multivariate skew-t distribution to capture the spatial patterns of higher order moments. The model can be used to generate synthetic time series over the entire spatial domain that adequately reproduce the internal variability of the LENS dataset.
This work is motivated by the Obepine French system for SARS-CoV-2 viral load monitoring in wastewater. The objective of this work is to identify, from time-series of noisy measurements, the underlying auto-regressive signals, in a context where the
measurements present numerous missing data, censoring and outliers. We propose a method based on an auto-regressive model adapted to censored data with outliers. Inference and prediction are produced via a discretised smoother. This method is both validated on simulations and on real data from Obepine. The proposed method is used to denoise measurements from the quantification of the SARS-CoV-2 E gene in wastewater by RT-qPCR. The resulting smoothed signal shows a good correlation with other epidemiological indicators and an estimate of the whole system noise is produced.
