Abstract:
We develop a robust data fusion algorithm for field reconstruction of multiple physical phenomena. The contribution of this paper is twofold: First, we demonstrate how multi-spatial fields which can have any marginal distributions and exhibit complex dependence structures can be constructed. Second, we develop an efficient and robust linear estimation algorithm to predict the mean behavior of the physical phenomena using rank correlation instead of the conventional linear Pearson correlation. Our approach has the advantage of avoiding the need to derive intractable predictive posterior distribution and also has a tractable solution for the rank correlation values. We show that our model outperforms the model which uses the conventional linear Pearson correlation metric in terms of the prediction mean-squared-errors (MSE). This provides the motivation for using our models for multimodal data fusion.
