matern15_isotropic

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

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>.

matern15_isotropic function

<dl><dt>covparms</dt>
<dd>A vector with covariance parameters
in the form (variance, range, nugget)</dd>
<dt>locs</dt>
<dd>A matrix with <code>n</code> rows and <code>d</code> columns.
Each row of locs is a point in R^d.</dd></dl>

Arguments

The covariance parameter vector is (variance, range, nugget)
= $(\sigma^2,\alpha,\tau^2)$, and the covariance function is parameterized
as
$$ M(x,y) = \sigma^2 (1 + || x - y || ) exp( - || x - y ||/ \alpha )$$
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 $.
