Description

RMcutoff is a functional on univariate stationary isotropic covariance functions phi.

The corresponding function C (which is not necessarily a covariance function, see details) only depends on the distance r between two points in d-dimensional space and is given by

C(r)=φ(r), 0≤ r ≤ d

C(r) = b_0 ((dR)^a - r^a)^{2 a}, d ≤ r ≤ dR

C(r) = 0, dR ≤ r

The parameters R and b_0 are chosen internally such that C is a smooth function.

Usage

1
RMcutoff(phi, diameter, a, var, scale, Aniso, proj)

Arguments

phi

a univariate stationary isotropic covariance model. See, for instance,

RFgetModelNames(type="positive definite", domain="single variable", isotropy="isotropic", vdim=1).

diameter

a numerical value; should be greater than 0; the diameter of the domain on which the simulation is done

a

a numerical value; should be greater than 0; has been shown to be optimal for a = 1/2 or a =1.

var,scale,Aniso,proj

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

Details

The algorithm that checks the given parameters knows only about some few necessary conditions. Hence it is not ensured that the cutoff-model is a valid covariance function for any choice of φ and the parameters.

For certain models phi, e.g. RMstable, RMwhittle and RMgencauchy, some sufficient conditions are known (cf. Gneiting et al. (2006)).

Value

RMcutoff returns an object of class RMmodel.
