g.primeR Documentation

The first derivative of the posterior density of a spatial GEV model with respect to a given random effect on the precision parameter.

Description

This returns the first derivative of the posterior density of a spatial GEV model with respect to a random effect on the precision parameter. It is used in forming the Metropolis-Hastings update of this parameter.

Usage

g.prime(tau, tau.hat, varsigma, xi, kappa.hat, eps)

Arguments

tau

Current value of the random effect

tau.hat

The conditional mean of the random effect given the others and the current Gaussian process parameters.

varsigma

The conditional variance of the random effect based on the Gaussian process parameters

xi

The current shape parameter for this location

kappa.hat

The linear part of the precision parameters

eps

The vector of residuals based on the observations at this site and the associated location parmeter

Value

A scalar giving the first derivative, which is used to form the Metropolis-Hasting update.
