stModel.define {INLAspacetime}

Define a spacetime model object for the f() call.

Description

Define a spacetime model object for the f() call.

Usage

stModel.define(
  smesh,
  tmesh,
  model,
  control.priors,
  constr = FALSE,
  debug = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  useINLAprecomp = TRUE,
  libpath = NULL
)

Arguments

smesh

a spatial mesh

tmesh

a temporal mesh

model

a three characters string to specify the smoothness alpha (each one as integer) parameters. Currently it considers the 102, 121, 202 and 220 models.

control.priors

a named list with parameter priors. E.g. prior.rs, prior.rt and prior.sigma as vectors with length two (U, a) to define the corresponding PC-prior such that P(r_s<U)=a, P(r_t<U)=a or P(sigma>U)=a. If a=0 then U is taken to be the fixed value of the parameter.

constr

logical to indicate if the integral of the field over the domain is to be constrained to zero. Default value is FALSE.

debug

logical indicating if to run in debug mode.

verbose

logical indicating if to print parameter values.

useINLAprecomp

logical indicating if is to be used shared object pre-compiled by INLA. Not considered if libpath is provided.

libpath

string to the shared object. Default is NULL.

Details

See the paper.

Value

objects to be used in the f() formula term in INLA.
