loglikeSTnames: Create Names for Log-likelihood Parameters for STmodel objects

Description

Function that creates a character vector with names for the parameters expected by log-likelihood functions. Names are created by extracting names from the STmodel structure.

Usage

loglikeSTnames(STmodel, all = TRUE)

Arguments

STmodel

STmodel object for which parmeter names are to be computed.

all

compute all parameter names (regression and covariance) or only covariance parameters.

Value

• Returns names of the parameters expected by the log-likelihood functions. Regerssion parameter names start with gamma/alpha (spatio-temporal/geographic covariate), followed by name of beta-field, and the name of covariate. The covariance parameters follow, log (reminder that parameter is log-scale), covariance parameter name, name of field, type of covariance function.

Examples

##load the data
data(mesa.data)

##Find out in which order parameters should be given
loglikeSTnames(mesa.model)
##...and for only the covariance parameters.
loglikeSTnames(mesa.model, FALSE)

##Including a spatio-temporal covariate
