geo_model {geoFourierFDA}

EStimates the parameters of the exponential model.

Description

geo_model finds the maximum likelihood estimate for the parameters in the geostatistical exponential model.

Usage

geo_model(v_data, m_coord)

Arguments

v_data

a numeric vector with the data

m_coord

a matrix with two column. The first column must be the latitude and the second column must be the longitude.

Value

a list with components

mean

mean of the process

phi

range of exponential model

sigmasq

total sill of exponential model

convergence

convergence as specified in the function nlminb

Examples

data(canada)
v_data <- canada$m_data[1, ]
geo_model(v_data, canada$m_coord)
