Arguments

response.name

A character object with the name of the response variable.

controllable.names

Either a character object with the names of the controllable inputs or set to NULL if in the field experiment the controllable inputs (if any) have not been varied (the analysis has constant controllable inputs).

calibration.names

A character object with the names of the calibration inputs. Use NULL if the model does not depend on any calibration inputs.

field.data

A data.frame with the observations coming from the field experiment. The column names of this data.frame should contain the controllable.names and the response.name.

model.data

A data.frame with the observations coming from runs of the computer model. The column names of this data.frame should contain the controllable.names, the calibration.names and the response.name.

mean.formula

A formula specifying the mean function of the Gaussian Process approximation to the output of the computer model (the emulator). Can only involve terms in controllable.names.

bestguess

A named list specifying the best guess for the calibration parameters.

kriging.controls

A named list specifying the parameters to be passed to the kriging process at the stage I parameters (the ones invoved in the construction of the emulator) estimation step.

verbose

A logical value indicating the level of output as the function runs.

object

An object of the corresponding signature.

Details

Based on computer model runs, SAVE fits an approximation of the model output, usually called an emulator. The emulator is constructed using the Gaussian process response technique (GASP), described in more detail in SAVE-class. Further, at this stage an estimation of the parameters of the Gaussian process specifying the bias function (difference between field observations and computer model outputs) is also performed. Some of the calculations are done using the package DiceKriging

Value

SAVE returns an S4 object of class SAVE (see SAVE-class).
