sphere | R Documentation |
Return a matrix evaluating reproducing kernels for splines on a sphere.
sphere(x, y=x, order=2)
x |
a matrix of two columns or a list of two components, representing observed latitude and longitude respectively. |
y |
a matrix of two columns or a list of two components, representing latitude and longitude respectively. Default is the same as x. |
order |
an optional integer sepcifying the order of the spherical spline. Available are 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, with a default 2. |
The kernel for sperical splines is a series inconvenient to compute. This pseudo kernel is based on a topological equivalence as described in Wahba (1981), for which cases the closed form can be derived.
a matrix with the numbers of row and column equal to the lengths of x and y respectively.
The [i, j] element is the reproducing kernel evaluated at (x[i,], y[j,])
(or ((x[[1]][i], x[[2]][i]), (y[[1]][j], y[[2]][j]))
for lists).
