Covariance Tapering

Covariance Tapering is a spatial statistical method that belongs to the class of covariance regularization techniques, distinguished by its use of a compactly supported tapering function to modify the original covariance structure, thereby inducing sparsity in the covariance matrix to improve computational efficiency in large spatial datasets.
