1. Spatial statistics
· A simplified representation of the covariance structure of axially symmetric processes on the sphere. (Huang, C., Zhang, H., and Robeson, S.). 2012. Statistics and Probability Letters, 82, 1346-1351.
· Nonparametric estimation of varioram and its spectrum. (Huang, C., Hsing, T. and Cressie, N.). 2011. Biometrika, 98, 775-789.
· On the validity of commonly used covariance and variogram functions on the sphere. (Huang, C., Zhang, H. and Robeson, S.). 2011. Mathematical Geosciences, 43, 721-733. (Example: a valid variogram in Euclidean space yields negative variance on the sphere)
