map.obs.to.grid: Maps non-gridded data to a grid.

In spate: Spatio-Temporal Modeling of Large Data Using a Spectral SPDE Approach

Maps non-gridded data to a grid.

Description

Maps non-gridded data to a grid based on the coordinates supplied. Cells with no data are NA. For cells with more than one data point, the average is taken.

Usage

map.obs.to.grid(n,y.non.grid,coord,lengthx=NULL,lengthy=NULL)

Arguments

y.non.grid	Observed data in an T x N matrix with columns and rows corresponding to time and space, respectively. The coordinates of each observation point need to be specified in 'coord'.
coord	Matrix of dimension N x 2 with coordinates of the N observation points. Based on to these coordinates, each observation location is then mapped to a grid cell.
lengthx	Use together with 'coord' to specify the length of the x-axis. This is usefull if the observations lie in a rectangular area instead of a square. The length needs to be at least as large as the largest x-distance in 'coord.
lengthy	Use together with 'coord' to specify the length of the y-axis. This is usefull if the observations lie in a rectangular area instead of a square. The length needs to be at least as large as the largest y-distance in 'coord.
n	Number of point per axis of the square into which the points are mapped. In total, the process is modeled on a grid of size n*n.

Value

The function returns data in an T x n^2 matrix with columns and rows corresponding to time and space, respectively. Cells with no data are NA. For cells with more than one data point, the average is taken.
