However, companies located in different areas may be subject to different sustainability and environmental risks and policies. Henceforth, the main objective of this paper is to investigate the spatial and temporal pattern of the sustainability evaluations of European firms. We leverage a large dataset containing information about companies' sustainability performances, measured by MSCI ESG ratings, and geographical coordinates of firms in Western Europe between 2013 and 2023. By means of a modified version of the Chavent et al. (2018) hierarchical algorithm, we conduct a spatial clustering analysis, combining sustainability and spatial information, and a spatiotemporal clustering analysis, which combines the time dynamics of multiple sustainability features and spatial dissimilarities, to detect groups of firms with homogeneous sustainability performance. We are able to build cross-national and cross-industry clusters with remarkable differences in terms of sustainability scores. Among other results, in the spatio-temporal analysis, we observe a high degree of geographical overlap among clusters, indicating that the temporal dynamics in sustainability assessment are relevant within a multidimensional approach. Our findings help to capture the diversity of ESG ratings across Western Europe and may assist practitioners and policymakers in evaluating companies facing different sustainability-linked risks in different areas.</p>","PeriodicalId":50512,"journal":{"name":"Environmetrics","volume":"36 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/env.2893","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143111521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Spatio-temporal geostatistics has the potential to provide techniques and tools to estimate the spatio-temporal multiple covariance function and define an appropriate multivariate correlation function capable of reliable predictions. This paper presents a spatio-temporal multivariate geostatistical modeling approach based on the joint diagonalization of the empirical covariance matrix evaluated at different spatio-temporal lags. The possibility to consider a reduced number of uncorrelated variables (lower than the number of observed variables) and separately model the spatio-temporal evolution of these uncorrelated components represents a substantial simplification for multivariate modeling. A space–time linear coregionalization model (ST-LCM) with appropriate parametric models for the latent components was fitted to the matrix-valued covariance function estimated for five relevant agrometeorological variables, including evapotranspiration, minimum and maximum humidity, maximum temperature, and precipitation. The analyses highlight how to identify space–time components and choose the corresponding model by evaluating some characteristics of these components, such as symmetry, separability, and type of non-separability. The predictive results of this multivariate study will be of interest for agriculture, in particular for addressing drought emergencies.</p>","PeriodicalId":50512,"journal":{"name":"Environmetrics","volume":"36 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/env.2891","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143362245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, the data are often observed over regions with complex conformations, such as water bodies with complicated shorelines or regions with complex orography. Furthermore, the distribution of the data locations may be strongly inhomogeneous over space. These issues may challenge popular approaches to spatial data analysis. In this work, we show how we can accurately address these issues by spatial regression with differential regularization. We model the spatial variation by a Partial Differential Equation (PDE), defined upon the considered spatial domain. This PDE may depend upon some unknown parameters that we estimate from the data through an appropriate profiling estimation approach. The PDE may encode some available problem-specific information on the considered phenomenon, and permit a rich modeling of anisotropy and non-stationarity. The performances of the proposed approach are compared to competing methods through simulation studies and real data applications.

Moreover, the gradient-boosted conditional vine copulas are applied to the multivariate postprocessing of ensemble weather forecasts in a low-dimensional covariate setting.

However, monitoring spatiotemporal and density-dependent disease dynamics in the wild is challenging because the observation process is error-prone, which means that individuals, their disease status, and their spatial locations are unobservable, or only imperfectly observed. In this paper, we develop a novel spatially-explicit capture-recapture (SCR) model motivated by an SCR data set on European badgers (<i>Meles meles</i>), naturally infected with bovine tuberculosis (<i>Mycobacterium bovis</i>, TB). Our model accounts for the observation process of individuals as a function of their latent activity centers, and for their imperfectly observed disease status and its effect on demographic rates and behavior. This framework has the advantage of simultaneously modeling population demographics and disease dynamics within a spatial context. It can therefore generate estimates of critical parameters such as population size; local and global density by disease status and hence spatially-explicit disease prevalence; disease transmission probabilities as functions of local or global population density; and demographic rates as functions of disease status. Our findings suggest that infected badgers have lower survival probability but larger home range areas than uninfected badgers, and that the data do not provide strong evidence that density has a non-zero effect on disease transmission. We also present a simulation study, considering different scenarios of disease transmission within the population, and our findings highlight the importance of accounting for spatial variation in disease transmission and individual disease status when these affect demographic rates. Collectively these results show our new model enables a better understanding of how wildlife disease dynamics are linked to population demographics within a spatiotemporal context.</p>","PeriodicalId":50512,"journal":{"name":"Environmetrics","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/env.2888","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143110329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The underlying assumption is that each random variable follows, conditional on the set of previous information, the beta prime distribution. A novel feature of the proposed model is that both the conditional mean and conditional precision evolve over time. The model thus comprises two dynamic submodels, one for each parameter. The proposed model for the conditional precision parameter is parsimonious, incorporating first-order time dependence. Changes over time in the shape of the density are determined by the time evolution of two parameters, and not just of the conditional mean. We present simple closed-form expressions for the model's conditional log-likelihood function, score vector, and Fisher's information matrix. Monte Carlo simulation results are presented. Finally, we use the proposed approach to model and forecast two seasonal water flow time series.
