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 arguments; 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.

Examples

RFoptions(seed=0) ## *ANY* simulation will have the random seed 0; set
##                   RFoptions(seed=NA) to make them all random again
model <- RMtent()
x <- seq(0, 10, if (interactive()) 0.02 else 1) 
plot(model)
plot(RFsimulate(model, x=x))
