Subroutine called by the fitting procedures. The procedure initializes the parameters for the fitting procedure.

weighted, winconst, winstp)A numeric (\(d \times 2\))-matrix (where
d is the number of points) assigning 2-dimensions of coordinates or a numeric vector assigning
1-dimension of coordinates.
A numeric vector assigning 1-dimension of
coordinates; coordy is interpreted only if coordx is a numeric
vector otherwise it will be ignored.
A numeric vector assigning 1-dimension of temporal coordinates.
String; the name of a correlation model.
A numeric vector or a (\(n \times d\))-matrix or (\(d \times d \times n\))-matrix of observations.
String; the name of the spatial distance. The default is Eucl,
the euclidean distance. See the Section Details.
String; "fitting" to call the fitting procedure and "simulation" to call the simulation procedure.
A named list giving the values of the parameters that will be considered as known values.
Logical; if FALSE (the default) the data
are interpreted as a vector or a (\(n \times d\))-matrix,
instead if TRUE then (\(d \times d
\times n\))-matrix is considered.
String; the configuration of the composite likelihood.
String; the type of the marginal distribution of the max-stable field.
Numeric; an optional positive value indicating the maximum spatial distance considered in the composite-likelihood computation.
Numeric; an optional positive value indicating the maximum temporal lag considered in the composite-likelihood computation.
String; the density associated to the likelihood
objects. Gaussian is the default.
Numeric; the observation size of the underlying random field. Only in case of max-stable random fields and in the simulation.
A numeric vector of parameter values required in the simulation procedure of random fields.
A numeric vector of scaling factor to improve the
maximizing procedure, see optim.
A numeric vector of parameters ranges, see
optim.
Logical; if FALSE (the default) one spatial random field is
considered, instead if TRUE the data are considered as iid replicates of a field.
A named list with the initial values of the parameters that are used by the numerical routines in maximization procedure.
String; the name of the type of covariance matrix.
It can be Standard (the default value) or
Tapering for taperd covariance matrix.
Numeric; an optional value indicating the separabe parameter in the space time quasi taper (see Details).
Numeric; a value indicating a threshold for the binary random field.
String; the type of likelihood objects. Temporary value set to be "WLeastSquare" (weigthed least-square) in order to compute the starting values.
String; the real type of likelihood objects. See FitComposite.
Logical; if TRUE the estimates' variances and
standard errors are returned.
FALSE is the default.
String; the type of estimation method for computing the estimate variances, see the Section Details.
Logical; if TRUE the likelihood objects are
weighted, see FitComposite.
Numeric; a positive real value indicating the
sub-window in the sub-sampling procedure. See FitComposite.
Numeric; a value in \((0,1]\) for defining the window
step. See FitComposite.
