SpPOP_nonlinear5 {SpPOP}R Documentation

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

Description

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

Usage

SpPOP_nonlinear5(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 two explanatory variables (i.e. X1 and X2). The auxiliary variables are drawn independently from uniform distribution U(0,2) and normal distribution N(1,1) and the regression coefficients are generated as non-linear function of latitudes and longitudes.
