Abstract
Most problems related to environmental studies are innately multivariate. In fact, in each spatial location more than one variable is usually measured. In geostatistics multivariate data analysis, where we intend to predict the value of a random vector in a new site, which has no data, cokriging method is used as the best linear unbiased prediction. In lattice data analysis, where almost exclusively the probability modeling of data is of concern, only auto-Gaussian model has been used for continuous multivariate data. For discrete multivariate data little work has been carried out. In this paper, an auto-multinomial model is suggested for analyzing multivariate lattice discrete data. The proposed method is illustrated by a real example of air pollution in Tehran, Iran.
