RMgneitingdiff: Gneiting Covariance Model Used as Tapering Function

Description

RMgneitingdiff is a stationary isotropic covariance model which is only valid up to dimension 3. The corresponding covariance function only depends on the distance $r \ge 0$ between two points and is given by $$C(h) = C_0(h / t) W_\nu(h / s)$$ where $C_0$ is Gneiting's model RMgneiting and $W_\nu$ is the Whittle modelRMwhittle.

Usage

RMgneitingdiff(nu, taper.scale, scale, var, Aniso, proj)

Arguments

nu

see RMwhittle

taper.scale

is the paramter $t$ in the above formula

scale

is the paramter $s$ in the above formula

var,Aniso,proj

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

Value

• RMgneitingdiff returns an object of class RMmodel.

Details

The model allows to a certain degree the smooth modelling of the differentiability of a covariance function with compact support.
