RMqam: Quasi-arithmetic mean

Description

RMqam is a univariate stationary covariance model depending on a submodel $\phi$ such that $\psi(\cdot) := \phi(\sqrt(\cdot))$ is completely monotone, and depending on further stationary covariance models $C_i$. The covariance is given by $$C(h) = \phi(\sqrt(\sum_i \theta_i (\phi^{-1}(C_i(h)))^2))$$

Usage

RMqam(phi, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, theta, var, scale, Aniso, proj)

Arguments

phi
a valid covariance RMmodel where normalmix is true
C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9
optional further univariate stationary RMmodel.
theta
a vector with positive entries
var,scale,Aniso,proj
optional parameters; same meaning for any RMmodel. If not passed, the above covariance function remains unmodified.

Value

Details

Note that $\psi(\cdot) := \phi(\sqrt(\cdot))$ is completely monotone if and only if $\phi$ is a valid covariance function for all dimensions, e.g. RMstable, RMgauss, RMexponential. Warning: RandomFields cannot check whether the combination of $\phi$ and $C_i$ is valid.
