correlogram: Compute Spatial Correlograms

Description

Compute spatial correlograms of spatial data or residuals.

Usage

correlogram(krig, nint, plotit = TRUE,  ...)

Value

x and y coordinates of the correlogram, and cnt, the number of pairs averaged per bin.

Arguments

krig

trend-surface or kriging object with columns x, y, and z

nint

number of bins used

plotit

logical for plotting

...

parameters for the plot

Side Effects

Plots the correlogram if plotit = TRUE.

Details

Divides range of data into nint bins, and computes the covariance for pairs with separation in each bin, then divides by the variance. Returns results for bins with 6 or more pairs.
