SpPOP_linear4 {SpPOP}R Documentation

Generation of spatial population along with spatially varying model parameters generated based on linear function of latitudes and longitudes

Description

Generation of spatial population along with spatially varying model parameters generated based on linear function of latitudes and longitudes

Usage

SpPOP_linear4(N, k, xlat, ylong)

Arguments

N

integer; population size i.e. N= (k * k)

k

integer

xlat

numeric vector

ylong

numeric vector

Value

The developed function returns a dataframe of spatially generated population consist of simulated response variable (i.e. Y) along with their spatial coordinates, spatially varying coefficients and one explanatory variable (i.e. X). The auxiliary variable has been generated following U(0,2) and the regression coefficients are generated as linear function of locations.
