Variational Approximated Restricted Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Spatial Data
arXiv:2604.07635v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This research considers a scalable inference for spatial data modeled through Gaussian intrinsic conditional autoregressive (ICAR) structures. The classical estimation method, restricted maximum likelihood (REML), requires repeated inversion and factorization of large
