Variance-covariance matrix for British Columbia solar radiation data

Description

Variance-covariance matrix for British Columbia solar radiation data

Format

A list with three elements, which are:

x

a 12-row 2-column matrix of longitude-latitude coordinates for 12 stations

z

a 12-row 12-column variance-covariance matrix

n

an integer giving the original sample size
