exponential_anisotropic2D: Geometrically anisotropic exponential covariance function (two dimensions)

Description

From a matrix of locations and covariance parameters of the form (variance, L11, L21, L22, nugget), return the square matrix of all pairwise covariances.

Usage

exponential_anisotropic2D(covparms, locs)

d_exponential_anisotropic2D(covparms, locs)

Value

A matrix with n rows and n columns, with the i,j entry containing the covariance between observations at locs[i,] and locs[j,].

Arguments

covparms

A vector with covariance parameters in the form (variance, L11, L21, L22, nugget)

locs

A matrix with n rows and 2 columns. Each row of locs is a point in R^2.

Functions

  • d_exponential_anisotropic2D(): Derivatives of anisotropic exponential covariance

Parameterization

The covariance parameter vector is (variance, L11, L21, L22, nugget) where L11, L21, L22, are the three non-zero entries of a lower-triangular matrix L. The covariances are $$ M(x,y) = \sigma^2 exp(-|| L x - L y || ) $$ This means that L11 is interpreted as an inverse range parameter in the first dimension. The nugget value \( \sigma^2 \tau^2 \) is added to the diagonal of the covariance matrix. NOTE: the nugget is \( \sigma^2 \tau^2 \), not \( \tau^2 \).
