l.double.primeR Documentation

The second derivative of a Gaussian process with respect to the parameter lambda.

Description

This utility returns the value of the second derivative of the posterior of lambda in a Gaussian process. It is used to make a focused M-H proposal when updating the lambda parameter.

Usage

l.double.prime(tau, alpha, lambda, D, a, b)

Arguments

tau

The vector of current random effects.

alpha

The current state of the precision of the Gaussian process

lambda

The current state of lambda

D

The distance matrix of the relevant entries in tau

a

The prior parameter for lambda

b

The second prior parameter for lambda

Value

This returns a scalar that is then used in the focused update. Its a pretty internal function.
