Resumen:
Positive definite functions are a key mathematical tool in geostatistics. If the study region is geographically extensive, the space which needs to be considered is the spherical surface equipped withthe geodesic distance. After reviewing some general results about positive definite functions on spheres, this talk will focus on Bayesian nonparametric models for spatial covariance functions for global data. Then, it will review main known results about strict positive definiteness on spheres in the isotropic case and will show a recent result about the axially symmetric case.
