RMaskey: Askey model

Description

Askey's model $$C(x)= (1-x)^\alpha 1_{[0,1]}(x)$$

Usage

RMaskey(alpha, var, scale, Aniso, proj)
RMtent(var, scale, Aniso, proj)

Arguments

alpha

a numerical value in the interval [0,1]

var,scale,Aniso,proj

optional parameters; same meaning for any RMmodel. If not passed, the above covariance function remains unmodified.

Value

• RMaskey returns an object of class RMmodel

Details

This covariance function is valid for dimension $d$ if $\alpha \ge (d+1)/2$. For $\alpha=1$ we get the well-known triangle (or tent) model, which is valid on the real line, only.
