periodic_cov: Periodic covariance function

In landsepi: Landscape Epidemiology and Evolution

Periodic covariance function

Description

Periodic function used to compute the variance-covariance matrix of the fields of the landscape.

Usage

periodic_cov(d, range, phi = 1)

Arguments

d	a numeric object containing pairwise distances between the centroids of the fields
range	range (half-period of oscillations)
phi	amplitude of the oscillations

Details

The periodic covariance is defined by exp(-2 * sin(d*pi/(2*range))^2 / phi^2) . It is used to generate highly fragmented or highly aggregated landscapes.

Value

An object of the same type as d.
