Where and How to Improve Graph-based Spatio-temporal Predictors
share
This paper introduces a novel residual correlation analysis, called AZ-analysis, to assess the optimality of spatio-temporal predictive models. The proposed AZ-analysis constitutes a valuable asset for discovering and highlighting those space-time regions where the model can be improved with respect to performance. The AZ-analysis operates under very mild assumptions and is based on a spatio-temporal graph that encodes serial and functional dependencies in the data; asymptotically distribution-free summary statistics identify existing residual correlation in space and time regions, hence localizing time frames and/or communities of sensors, where the predictor can be improved.
