In MJAlexander/distortr: Temporal smoothing methods for demographic time series

Description

Function to get Gaussian Process variance-covariance data to run JAGS country model

Usage

getGPData(nyears.c, niso, cov.method = "matern", range = 10,
  smoothness = 2)

Arguments

nyears.c	vector with number of years of observations for each country
niso	number of countries
cov.method	either sqexp (squared exponential) or matern
range	parameter for Matern function. Default is 10.
smoothness	parameter for Matern function. Default is 2.

Value

An array which contains either the distance matrix for each country (squared exponential) or the covariance matrix for each country (matern).
