Our spatial functional estimation approach handles both wavelet-based heterogeneity analysis in time, and spectral analysis in space. Specifically, model fitting is achieved by minimising the information divergence or relative entropy between the multiscale model underlying the data, and the corresponding candidates in the spatial spectral domain. A simulation study is carried out within the family of log-Gaussian Spatial Autoregressive -valued processes (SAR processes) to illustrate the asymptotic properties of the proposed spatial functional estimators. We apply our modelling strategy to spatiotemporal prediction of respiratory disease mortality.engCox processes in Hilbert spacesSpatial functional estimationSpectral wavelet-based analysisA spatial functional count model for heterogeneity analysis in timeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article60G2560G6062J0562J10info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
