Spatial outliers as a pattern determinant for explaining heterogeneity
Published on 11 June 2026, this study introduces a second-dimension outlier-driven heterogeneity (SOH) model that uses multi-scale spatial outlier patterns to strengthen explanations of spatial heterogeneity in Australian barley production.

A singularity regression kriging for spatial prediction
This study proposes a singularity regression kriging (SRK) model that combines multi-scale singularity features, random forest trend estimation, and residual kriging to improve spatial prediction in heterogeneous environments, demonstrated through Zn and Co mapping in mineralised Western Australia.
