On a novel approach for optimizing composite materials panel using surrogate models [PDF]
, 2011 This paper describes an optimization procedure to design thermoplastic composite panels under axial compressive load conditions. Minimum weight is the goal. The panel design is subject to buckling constraints.

Feature-free regression kriging
Spatial interpolation is a crucial task in geography. As perhaps the most widely used interpolation methods, geostatistical models -- such as Ordinary Kriging (OK) -- assume spatial stationarity, which makes it difficult to capture the nonstationary characteristics of geographic variables.

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Knowledge of habitat availability is critically important for the management and recovery of freshwater species. Quantifying habitat availability often requires fine‐scale sampling at point‐based locations across a large geographic extent, which can be laboursome.

Using NDVI and guided sampling to develop yield prediction maps of processing tomato crop
Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2015 The use of yield prediction maps is an important tool for the delineation of within-field management zones. Vegetation indices based on crop reflectance are of potential use in the attainment of this objective.

Reliability-based design optimization using kriging surrogates and subset simulation
, 2011 The aim of the present paper is to develop a strategy for solving reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) problems that remains applicable when the performance models are expensive to evaluate.

On daily interpolation of precipitation backed with secondary information [PDF]
, 2010 This paper investigates the potential impact of secondary information on rainfall mapping applying Ordinary Kriging. Secondary information tested is a natural area indicator, which is a combination of topographic features and weather conditions.

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Climate change drives shifts in suitable habitats for Eurasian lynx and its prey (hare, roe deer) in Mohe, Daxing'anling Mountains. Under RCP scenarios, moderate warming (RCP4.5) promotes substantial habitat expansion, while high‐emission conditions (RCP8.5) lead to strong expansion in the 2050s but slower gains and partial contraction by the 2070s ...

A Machine Learning Technique for Spatial Interpolation of Solar Radiation Observations
Earth and Space Science, 2021 This study applies statistical methods to interpolate missing values in a data set of radiative energy fluxes at the surface of Earth. We apply Random Forest (RF) and seven other conventional spatial interpolation models to a global Surface Solar ...
