covRadial-class: Class '"covRadial"'

In kergp: Gaussian Process Laboratory

Description

Class of radial covariance kernels.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form covRadial(...) of new("covRadial", ...).

Slots

k1Fun1:

Object of class "function" A function of a scalar numeric variable. Note that using a one-dimensional kernel here does not warrant that a positive semi-definite kernel results for any dimension d.

k1Fun1Char:

Object of class "character" describing the function in the slot k1Fun1.

hasGrad:

Object of class "logical". Tells if the value returned by the function kern1Fun has an attribute named "der" giving the derivative(s).

cov:

Object of class "integer". The value 0L corresponds to a correlation kernel while 1L is for a covariance kernel.

iso:

Object of class "integer". The value 1L corresponds to an isotropic covariance, with all the inputs sharing the same range value.

label:

Object of class "character". Short description of the object.

d:

Object of class "integer". Dimension, i.e. number of inputs.

inputNames:

Object of class "optCharacter". Names of the inputs.

parLower:

Object of class "numeric". Numeric values for the lower bounds on the parameters. Can be -Inf.

parUpper:

Object of class "numeric". Numeric values for the upper bounds on the parameters. Can be Inf.

par:

Object of class "numeric". Numeric values for the parameters. Can be NA.

parN1:

Object of class "integer". Number of parameters of the function kern1Fun (such as a shape).

parN:

Object of class "integer". Number of parameters for the object. The include: direct parameters in the function kern1Fun, ranges, and variance.

kern1ParNames:

Object of class "character". Names of the direct parameters.

kernParNames:

Object of class "character". Names of the parameters.
