mcgf {mcgf}

Create mcgf object

Description

Create mcgf object

Usage

mcgf(data, locations, dists, time, longlat = TRUE, origin = 1L)

Arguments

data

Time series data set in space-wide format.

locations

A matrix of data.frame of 2D points, first column x/longitude, second column y/latitude. Required when dists is not supplied. If longitudes and latitudes are provided, they are mapped to a 2D Euclidean. See find_dists() for more details.

dists

List of signed distance matrices on a 2D Euclidean Plane. Required when locations is not supplied.

time

Optional, a vector of equally spaced time stamps.

longlat

Logical, if TURE locations contains longitudes and latitudes.

origin

Optional; used when longlat is TRUE. An integer index indicating the reference location which well be used as the origin.

Details

An mcgf object extends the S3 class data.frame.

For inputs, data must be in space-wide format where rows correspond to different time stamps and columns refer to spatial locations. Supply either locations or dists. locations is a matrix or data.frame of 2D points with first column x/longitude and second column y/latitude. By default it is treated as a matrix of Earth's coordinates in decimal degrees. Number of rows in locations must be the same as the number of columns of data. dists must be a list of signed distance matrices with names h1, h2, and h. If h is not given, it will be calculated as the Euclidean distance of h1 and h2. time is a vector of equally spaced time stamps. If it is not supplied then data is assumed to be temporally equally spaced.

An mcgf object extends the S3 class data.frame, all methods remain valid to the data part of the object.

Value

An S3 object of class mcgf. As it inherits and extends the data.frame class, all methods remain valid to the data part of the object. Additional attributes may be assigned and extracted.

Examples

data <- cbind(S1 = 1:5, S2 = 4:8, S3 = 5:9)
lon <- c(110, 120, 130)
lat <- c(50, 55, 60)
locations <- cbind(lon, lat)
obj <- mcgf(data, locations = locations)
print(obj, "locations")
