ARMA {sommer}

Autocorrelation Moving average.

Description

Creates an ARMA matrix of order one with parameters specified.

Usage

ARMA(x, rho=0.25, lambda=0.25)

Arguments

x

vector of the variable to define the factor levels for the ARMA covariance structure.

rho

rho value for the matrix.

lambda

dimensions of the square matrix.

Details

Specially useful for constructing covariance structures for rows and ranges to capture better the spatial variation trends in the field. The rho value is assumed fixed and values of the variance component will be optimized through REML.

Value

If everything is defined correctly the function returns:

$nn

the correlation matrix
