Variance Components and Generalized Sobol' Indices [PDF]
This paper introduces generalized Sobol' indices, compares strategies for their estimation, and makes a systematic search for efficient estimators. Of particular interest are contrasts, sums of squares and indices of bilinear form which allow a reduced ...

Kriging with Unknown Variance Components for Regional Ionospheric Reconstruction
Ionospheric delay effect is a critical issue that limits the accuracy of precise Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning and navigation for single-frequency users, especially in mid- and low-latitude regions where variations in the ...
