GeoSim: Simulation of Gaussian and non Gaussian Random Fields.

In GeoModels: Procedures for Gaussian and Non Gaussian Geostatistical (Large) Data Analysis

Simulation of Gaussian and non Gaussian Random Fields.

Description

Simulation of Gaussian and some non Gaussian spatial, spatio-temporal and spatial bivariate random fields. The function return a realization of a random Field for a given covariance model and covariance parameters.Simulation is based on Cholesky decomposition.

Usage

GeoSim(coordx, coordy=NULL,coordz=NULL, coordt=NULL, coordx_dyn=NULL, corrmodel, 
      distance="Eucl", grid=FALSE, method="cholesky", 
      model='Gaussian', n=1, param,anisopars=NULL,radius=1, 
      sparse=FALSE,X=NULL,spobj=NULL,nrep=1,progress=TRUE)

Arguments

coordx	A numeric (d \times 2)-matrix or (d \times 3)-matrix. Coordinates on a sphere for a fixed radius radius are passed in lon/lat format expressed in decimal degrees.
coordy	A numeric vector giving 1-dimension of spatial coordinates; Optional argument, the default is NULL.
coordz	A numeric vector giving 1-dimension of spatial coordinates; Optional argument, the default is NULL.
coordt	A numeric vector giving 1-dimension of temporal coordinates. Optional argument, the default is NULL then a spatial RF is expected.
coordx_dyn	A list of m numeric (d_t \times 2)-matrices containing dynamical (in time) spatial coordinates. Optional argument, the default is NULL
corrmodel	String; the name of a correlation model, for the description see the Section Details.
distance	String; the name of the spatial distance. The default is Eucl, the euclidean distance. See the Section Details of GeoFit.
grid	Logical; if FALSE (the default) the data are interpreted as spatial or spatial-temporal realisations on a set of non-equispaced spatial sites (irregular grid).
method	String; the type of matrix decomposition used in the simulation. Default is cholesky. The other possible choices is svd.
model	String; the type of RF and therefore the densities associated to the likelihood objects. Gaussian is the default, see the Section Details.
n	Numeric; the number of trials for binomial RFs. The number of successes in the negative Binomial RFs. Default is 1.
param	A list of parameter values required in the simulation procedure of RFs, see Examples.
anisopars	A list of two elements "angle" and "ratio" i.e. the anisotropy angle and the anisotropy ratio, respectively.
radius	Numeric; a value indicating the radius of the sphere when using the great circle distance. Default value is 1.
sparse	Logical; if TRUE then cholesky decomposition is performed using sparse matrices algorithms (spam packake). It should be used with compactly supported covariance models.FALSE is the default.
X	Numeric; Matrix of space-time covariates.
spobj	An object of class sp or spacetime
nrep	Numeric; Numbers of indipendent replicates.
progress	Logic; If TRUE then a progress bar is shown.

Value

Returns an object of class GeoSim. An object of class GeoSim is a list containing at most the following components:

bivariate	Logical:TRUE if the Gaussian RF is bivariate, otherwise FALSE;
coordx	A d-dimensional vector of spatial coordinates;
coordy	A d-dimensional vector of spatial coordinates;
coordz	A d-dimensional vector of spatial coordinates;
coordt	A t-dimensional vector of temporal coordinates;
coordx_dyn	A list of dynamical (in time) spatial coordinates;
corrmodel	The correlation model; see GeoCovmatrix.
data	The vector or matrix or array of data, see GeoFit;
distance	The type of spatial distance;
method	The method of simulation
model	The type of RF, see GeoFit.
n	The number of trial for Binomial RFs;the number of successes in a negative Binomial RFs;
numcoord	The number of spatial coordinates;
numtime	The number the temporal realisations of the RF;
param	The vector of parameters' estimates;
radius	The radius of the sphere if coordinates are passed in lon/lat format;
spacetime	TRUE if spatio-temporal and FALSE if spatial RF;
nrep	The number of indipendent replicates;
