A) Bayesian Spatially Varying Coefficient (SVC) Model for LST
B) Bayesian SVC Model for SUHI
where
- \( y_i(s) \) = LST at day \( i \) and pixel \( s \)
- \( z_i(s) \) = SUHI at day \( i \) and pixel \( s \)
- \( \mathbf{X}_i(s)\boldsymbol{\beta} \) = linear predictor for day \( i \) and pixel \( s \)
- \( u(s) \) = spatially varying intercept (residual spatial effect)
- \( t_i \cdot v(s) \) = spatially varying linear effect of time (long-term
summer linear trend)
