RMspheric

The Spherical Covariance Model


Description

RMspheric is a stationary isotropic covariance model which is only valid up to dimension 3. The corresponding covariance function only depends on the distance r ≥ 0 between two points and is given by

C(r) = (1 - 1.5 r + 0.5 r^3) 1_{[0,1]}(r).

Usage

RMspheric(var, scale, Aniso, proj)

Arguments

var,scale,Aniso,proj

optional arguments; same meaning for any RMmodel. If not passed, the above covariance function remains unmodified.

Details

This covariance model is valid only for dimensions less than or equal to 3.

The covariance function has a finite range.

Value

RMspheric returns an object of class RMmodel.

Note

Although this model is valid on a sphere, do not mix up this model with valid models on a sphere; see spherical models for a list of the latter.

Examples

RFoptions(seed=0) ## *ANY* simulation will have the random seed 0; set
##                   RFoptions(seed=NA) to make them all random again

model <- RMspheric()
x <- seq(0, 10, 0.02)
plot(model)
plot(RFsimulate(model, x=x))
