D-STEM: a statistical software for modelling complex 3D and 4D space-time data

Relevant physical, environmental and social phenomena usually occur at large or global scale and with a temporal dynamicd that goes from days to years. Collecting and analysing data is the only way to understand those phenomena and, when needed, to propose actions of improvement or mitigation. D-STEM is a MATLAB software that implements statistical models for analysing multivariate and functional space-time data collected at local or global scale. In this seminar, it is discussed which kind of data sets are handled by D-STEM and how the software can be used for space-time predictions and inference. D-STEM capabilities in handling large data sets are also detailed.
