krigeST

Ordinary global Spatio-Temporal Kriging


Description

Function for ordinary global and local and trans Gaussian spatio-temporal kriging on point support

Usage

krigeST(formula, data, newdata, modelList, beta, y, ...,
        nmax = Inf, stAni = NULL,
        computeVar = FALSE,	fullCovariance = FALSE,
        bufferNmax=2, progress=TRUE)
krigeSTTg(formula, data, newdata, modelList, y, nmax=Inf, stAni=NULL,
                      bufferNmax=2, progress=TRUE, lambda = 0)

Arguments

formula

formula that defines the dependent variable as a linear model of independent variables; suppose the dependent variable has name z, for ordinary and simple kriging use the formula z~1; for simple kriging also define beta (see below); for universal kriging, suppose z is linearly dependent on x and y, use the formula z~x+y

data

ST object: should contain the dependent variable and independent variables.

newdata

ST object with prediction/simulation locations in space and time; should contain attribute columns with the independent variables (if present).

modelList

object of class StVariogramModel, created by vgmST - see below or the function vgmAreaST for area-to-point kriging. For the general kriging case: a list with named elements: space, time and/or joint depending on the spatio-temporal covariance family, and an entry stModel. Currently implemented families that may be used for stModel are separable, productSum, metric, sumMetric and simpleSumMetric. See the examples section in fit.StVariogram or variogramSurface for details on how to define spatio-temporal covariance models. krigeST will look for a "temporal unit" attribute in the provided modelList in order to adjust the temporal scales.

y

matrix; to krige multiple fields in a single step, pass data as columns of matrix y. This will ignore the value of the response in formula.

beta

The (known) mean for simple kriging.

nmax

The maximum number of neighbouring locations for a spatio-temporal local neighbourhood

stAni

a spatio-temporal anisotropy scaling assuming a metric spatio-temporal space. Used only for the selection of the closest neighbours. This scaling needs only to be provided in case the model does not have a stAni parameter, or if a different one should be used for the neighbourhood selection. Mind the correct spatial unit. Currently, no coordinate conversion is made for the neighbourhood selection (i.e. Lat and Lon require a spatio-temporal anisotropy scaling in degrees per second).

...

further arguments used for instance to pass the model into vgmAreaST for area-to-point kriging

computeVar

logical; if TRUE, prediction variances will be returned

fullCovariance

logical; if FALSE a vector with prediction variances will be returned, if TRUE the full covariance matrix of all predictions will be returned

bufferNmax

factor with which nmax is multiplied for an extended search radius (default=2). Set to 1 for no extension of the search radius.

progress

whether a progress bar shall be printed for local spatio-temporal kriging; default=TRUE

lambda

The value of lambda used in the box-cox transformation.

Details

Function krigeST is a R implementation of the kriging function from gstat using spatio-temporal covariance models following the implementation of krige0. Function krigeST offers some particular methods for ordinary spatio-temporal (ST) kriging. In particular, it does not support block kriging or kriging in a distance-based neighbourhood, and does not provide simulation.

Value

An object of the same class as newdata (deriving from ST). Attributes columns contain prediction and prediction variance.
