SpPOP_nonlinear3 {SpPOP}R Documentation

Generation of spatial population includes multiple auxiliary variables along with spatially varying model parameters generated based on non-linear function of latitudes and longitudes

Description

Generation of spatial population includes multiple auxiliary variables along with spatially varying model parameters generated based on non-linear function of latitudes and longitudes

Usage

SpPOP_nonlinear3(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. X1, X2, and X3). The auxiliary variables has been generated independently from uniform distribution U(0,1) and the regression coefficients are generated as non-linear function of latitudes and longitudes.
