Variance-covariance matrix for British Columbia solar radiation data
Description
Variance-covariance matrix for British Columbia solar radiation data
Format
A list with three elements, which are:
- x
a 12-row 2-column matrix of longitude-latitude coordinates for 12 stations
- z
a 12-row 12-column variance-covariance matrix
- n
an integer giving the original sample size
