RMparswm: Parsimonious Multivariate Whittle Matern Model

Description

RMparswm is a multivariate stationary isotropic covariance model whose corresponding covariance function only depends on the distance $r \ge 0$ between two points and is given for $i,j \in {1,2}$ by $$C_{ij}(r)= c_{ij} W_{\nu_{ij}}(r).$$ Here $W_\nu$ is the covariance of the RMwhittle model.

RMparswmX ist defined as $$\rho_{ij} C_{ij}(r)$$ where $\rho_{ij}$ is any covariance matrix.

Usage

RMparswm(nudiag, var, scale, Aniso, proj)
RMparswmX(nudiag, rho, var, scale, Aniso, proj)

Arguments

nudiag

a vector of arbitrary length of positive values; each entry positive; the vector $(\nu_{11},\nu_{22},...)$. The offdiagonal elements $\nu_{ij}$ are calculated as $0.5 (\nu_{ii} + \nu_{jj})$.

rho

any positive definite $m \times m$ matrix; here $m$ equals length(nudiag) For the calculation of $c_{ij}$ see Details.

var,scale,Aniso,proj

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

Value

• RMparswm returns an object of class RMmodel

Details

In the equation above we have $$c_{ij} = \rho_{ij} \sqrt{G_{ij}}$$ and $$G_{ij} = \frac{\Gamma(\nu_{11} + d/2) \Gamma(\nu_{22} + d/2) \Gamma(\nu_{12})^2}{\Gamma(\nu_{11}) \Gamma(\nu_{22}) \Gamma(\nu_{12}+d/2)^2}$$ where $\Gamma$ is the Gamma function and $d$ is the dimension of the space.

Note that the definition of RMparswmX is RMschur(M=rho, RMparswm(nudiag, var, scale, Aniso, proj)) .
