Analysis of Gaussian Spatial Models with Covariate Measurement Error
share
Uncertainty is an inherent characteristic of biological and geospatial data which is almost made by measurement error in the observed values of the quantity of interest. Ignoring measurement error can lead to biased estimates and inflated variances and so an inappropriate inference. In this paper, the Gaussian spatial model is fitted based on covariate measurement error. For this purpose, we adopt the Bayesian approach and utilize the Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms and data augmentations to carry out calculations. The methodology is illustrated using simulated data.
