KT.output-class {FeedbackTS}

Class "KT.output"

Description

Output of the krige.test function.

Objects from the Class

Objects are created by calls of the krige.test function.

Slots

krige.output:

Object of class "list", output of the krige function.

subregion:

Object of class "list", two vectors x and y containing the latitudes and the longitudes, respectively, of the vertices of a polygon. The polygon defines a subregion where one supposes variation in the predicted index.

averageKrigingPrediction.rand:

Object of class "numeric" specifying the averages of the kriging predictions in subregion obtained with randomized data (here, a randomization is a random translation on a torus).

averageKrigingPrediction.obs:

Object of class "numeric" specifying the average of the kriging prediction in subregion obtained with observed data.

alternative:

Object of class "character", "greater" or "less".

p.value:

Object of class "numeric", p-value of the test.

Methods

[<-

signature(x = "KT.output", i = "ANY", j = "ANY", value = "ANY")

[

signature(x = "KT.output"): Extract one of the slots.

names

signature(x = "KT.output"): Prints slot names.

show

signature(object = "KT.output"): Prints all slots of the KDD object.

summary

signature(object = "KT.output"): Prints summary characteristics of the KDD object.

plot

signature(x = "KT.output"), i="ANY": Graphically displays contents of the object.

Examples

showClass("KT.output")

#### load data of feedback and change-in-feedback indices in 88 sites across Australia
data(rain.feedback.stats)

#### spatial coordinates of the 88 sites
coord=rain.feedback.stats[,3:4]

#### map of feedback index computed from the whole data series
stat1=rain.feedback.stats[["Feedback.whole.period"]]

#### variogram analysis and kriging of feedback index
## Not run: 
par(mfrow=c(2,2), mar=c(5.1,4.1,4.1,2.1))

#### test spatial variation in feedback index and plot test output
