get_start_parms

get default starting values of covariance parameters

Functions for fitting and doing predictions with
Gaussian process models using Vecchia's (1988) approximation.
Package also includes functions for reordering input locations,
finding ordered nearest neighbors (with help from 'FNN' package),
grouping operations, and conditional simulations.
Covariance functions for spatial and spatial-temporal data
on Euclidean domains and spheres are provided. The original
approximation is due to Vecchia (1988)
<http://www.jstor.org/stable/2345768>, and the reordering and
grouping methods are from Guinness (2018)
<doi:10.1080/00401706.2018.1437476>.
Model fitting employs a Fisher scoring algorithm described
in Guinness (2019) <arXiv:1905.08374>.
