ssn_params {SSN2}

Create covariance parameter objects.

Description

Create a covariance parameter object for us with other functions. See spmodel::randcov_params() for documentation regarding random effect covariance parameter objects.

Usage

tailup_params(tailup_type, de, range)

taildown_params(taildown_type, de, range)

euclid_params(euclid_type, de, range, rotate, scale)

nugget_params(nugget_type, nugget)

Arguments

tailup_type

The tailup covariance function type. Available options include "linear", "spherical", "exponential", "mariah", "epa", and "none".

de

The spatially dependent (correlated) random error variance. Commonly referred to as a partial sill.

range

The correlation parameter.

taildown_type

The taildown covariance function type. Available options include "linear", "spherical", "exponential", "mariah", "epa", and "none".

euclid_type

The euclidean covariance function type. Available options include "spherical", "exponential", "gaussian", "cosine", "cubic", "pentaspherical", "wave", "jbessel", "gravity", "rquad", "magnetic", and "none".

rotate

Anisotropy rotation parameter (from 0 to \pi radians) for the euclidean portion of the covariance. A value of 0 (the default) implies no rotation.

scale

Anisotropy scale parameter (from 0 to 1) for the euclidean portion of the covariance. A value of 1 (the default) implies no scaling.

nugget_type

The nugget covariance function type. Available options include "nugget" or "none".

nugget

The spatially independent (not correlated) random error variance. Commonly referred to as a nugget.

Value

A parameter object with class that matches the relevant type argument.
