A hedonic model is specified for asking prices for apartments in Donetsk (Ukraine). This model is used to determine statistically significant location attributes. These attributes can be used for land assessment in a city where data on the land market are lacking. Distance gradients for CBD accessibility are investigated in different geographical directions. Separate models are created for sub‐samples located inside and outside the city centre. A spatial weight matrix is used to detect spatial autocorrelation. The regression results are compared with the valuation of experts.

In this paper, we first measured the eco-efficiency of 31 provinces in China during 2000–2015 using the SBM (Slack-Based Measure) model, and the spatial character of eco-efficiency was identified based on symmetrical spatial weight matrix. We then proposed a new asymmetrical spatial weight matrix based on the eco-economic transformation index (EETI)-distance reciprocal principle to assess the spatial character of eco-efficiency. Finally, we analyzed the convergence of eco-efficiency’s total factor productivity (EETFPs) in mainland China and in three major regions based on the results of EETFP. The study revealed the following findings: (1) There were some limitations to the spatial autocorrelation of eco-efficiency in mainland China by the symmetrical spatial weight methods based on the spatial proximity principle or spatial distance principle. However, the new spatial weight scheme improved the reliability of the accounting results of the spatial autocorrelation. (2) The clustering effect of eco-efficiency exhibited a downward trend in mainland China during the study period; meanwhile, the significant high-high and low-high clustering areas were located in the eastern, the central, and the western regions. (3) The study of convergence showed that there was a club-convergence phenomenon in mainland China, and except for the western region, all the regions expressed conditional convergence. The results provide a significant reference for ecological-economy management and sustainable development in China.

COVID-19 has spread throughout the world since the virus was discovered in 2019. Thus, this study aimed to identify the global transmission trend of the COVID-19 from the perspective of the spatial correlation and spatial lag. The research used primary data collected of daily increases in the amount of COVID-19 in 14 countries, confirmed diagnosis, recovered numbers, and deaths. Findings of the Moran index showed that the propagation of infection was aggregated between 9 May and 21 May based on the composite spatial weight matrix. The results from the Lagrange multiplier test indicated the COVID-19 patients can infect others with a lag.

AbstractA micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) scanning mirror accelerates the raster scanning of optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM). However, the nonlinear tilt angular-voltage characteristic of a MEMS mirror introduces distortion into the maximum back-projection image. Moreover, the size of the airy disk, ultrasonic sensor properties, and thermal effects decrease the resolution. Thus, in this study, we proposed a spatial weight matrix (SWM) with a dimensionality reduction for image reconstruction. The three-layer SWM contains the invariable information of the system, which includes a spatial dependent distortion correction and 3D deconvolution. We employed an ordinal-valued Markov random field and the Harris Stephen algorithm, as well as a modified delay-and-sum method during a time reversal. The results from the experiments and a quantitative analysis demonstrate that images can be effectively reconstructed using an SWM; this is also true for severely distorted images. The index of the mutual information between the reference images and registered images was 70.33 times higher than the initial index, on average. Moreover, the peak signal-to-noise ratio was increased by 17.08% after 3D deconvolution. This accomplishment offers a practical approach to image reconstruction and a promising method to achieve a real-time distortion correction for MEMS-based OR-PAM.

The problem of prediction of subpopulation (domain) total is studied as in Rao (2003). Considerations are based on spatially correlated longitudinal data. The domain of interest can be defined after sample selection what implies its random sample size. The special case of the General Linear Mixed Model is proposed where two random components obey assumptions of spatial and temporal moving average process respectively. Moreover, it is assumed that the population may change in time and elements’ affiliations to subpopulation may change in time as well. The proposed model is a generalization of longitudinal models studied by e.g. Verbeke, Molenberghs (2000) and Hedeker, Gibbons (2006). The best linear unbiased predictor (BLUP) is derived. It may be used even if the sample size in the subpopulation of interest in the period of interest is zero. In the Monte Carlo simulation study the accuracy of the empirical version of the BLUP will be studied in the case of correct and incorrect specification of the spatial weight matrix. Two cases of model misspecification are studied. In the first case the misspecified spatial weight is used. In the second case independence of random components is assumed but the variable which is used to compute elements of spatial weight matrix in the correct case will be used as auxiliary variable in the model.

In this paper, we propose a novel robust algorithm for image recovery via affine transformations, the weighted nuclear, L ∗ , w , and the L 2,1 norms. The new method considers the spatial weight matrix to account the correlated samples in the data, the L 2,1 norm to tackle the dilemma of extreme values in the high-dimensional images, and the L ∗ , w norm newly added to alleviate the potential effects of outliers and heavy sparse noises, enabling the new approach to be more resilient to outliers and large variations in the high-dimensional images in signal processing. The determination of the parameters is involved, and the affine transformations are cast as a convex optimization problem. To mitigate the computational complexity, alternating iteratively reweighted direction method of multipliers (ADMM) method is utilized to derive a new set of recursive equations to update the optimization variables and the affine transformations iteratively in a round-robin manner. The new algorithm is superior to the state-of-the-art works in terms of accuracy on various public databases.

The article presents the problem of the application of the spatial weigh matrix based on economic distance in spatial analysis of the unemployment rate. The spatial weight matrix expresses potential spatial interactions between the researched areas and forms a basis for the instruments applied in spatial econometrics. While identifying the neighbourhood, the following criteria are used: a common border, distance, and the k number of the nearest neighbours. The potential force of impact is identified by means of the standardisation of the matrix by rows to unity, or by means of the distance based on the physical properties of the areas. The disadvantage of the matrix standardisation is the fact of accepting the same force of impact for all the areas. It seems natural is the differentiation of the force of the impact dependent on the selected areas which should result from the differences and similarities of the areas in the scope of the researched phenomenon and its determinants. The use of the distance based on physical properties of the areas allows considering the diverse force of impact of neighbouring areas, which, in turn, allows to obtain a more precise outcome of analyses. Unfortunately, physical properties do not constitute the determinants of economic phenomena covered by a spatial analysis which means that they are not related directly to the scrutinised phenomenon. The application of economic distance for building spatial weight matrix shown in the present paper constitutes a way of determining of the force of impact for the economic spatial processes that is alternative to the distance based on physical properties of the researched areas and to the proposal of the standardisation by rows to unity.
