Spherical Correlation Structure
This function is a constructor for the corSpher
class,
representing a spherical spatial correlation structure. Letting
d denote the range and n denote the nugget
effect, the correlation between two observations a distance
r < d apart is 1-1.5(r/d)+0.5(r/d)^3 when no
nugget effect is present and (1-n)*(1-1.5(r/d)+0.5(r/d)^3)
when a nugget effect is assumed. If r >= d the
correlation is zero. Objects created using this constructor must later
be initialized using the appropriate Initialize
method.
corSpher(value, form, nugget, metric, fixed)
value |
an optional vector with the parameter values in
constrained form. If |
form |
a one sided formula of the form |
nugget |
an optional logical value indicating whether a nugget
effect is present. Defaults to |
metric |
an optional character string specifying the distance
metric to be used. The currently available options are
|
fixed |
an optional logical value indicating whether the
coefficients should be allowed to vary in the optimization, or kept
fixed at their initial value. Defaults to |
an object of class corSpher
, also inheriting from class
corSpatial
, representing a spherical spatial correlation
structure.
