Abstract
This paper discusses edge correction for a large class of conditional and intrinsic autoregressions on two-dimensional finite regular arrays. The proposed method includes a novel reparameterization, retains the simple neighbourhood structure, ensures the nonnegative definiteness of the precision matrix, and enables scalable matrix-free statistical computation. The edge correction provides new insight into how higher-order differencing enters into the precision matrix of a conditional autoregression.
