Rafael Crespo Garcia

Rafael Crespo García is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematical Analysis at Universitat de València. His academic career spans several decades, beginning with his doctorate in 1981. He is actively involved in research at the intersection of functional analysis and spatial statistics.

His research primarily focuses on Functional Analysis and Geostatistics, with a particular interest in spatial modeling techniques that account for nonstationarity. His work bridges pure mathematics and applied geospatial sciences, especially through the use of geographically weighted regression (GWR) and hybrid kriging models.

The analysis of his publications, particularly the 2010 paper in Mathematical Geosciences, reveals a strong trend in evaluating spatial prediction models under conditions of spatial heterogeneity and nonstationarity. His work contributes to the methodological critique and advancement of GWR and its integration with geostatistical interpolation techniques.
