beanb2/intkrige: A Numerical Implementation of Interval-Valued Kriging

An interval-valued extension of ordinary and simple kriging. Optimization of the function is based on a generalized interval distance. This creates a non-differentiable cost function that requires a differentiable approximation to the absolute value function. This differentiable approximation is optimized using a Newton-Raphson algorithm with a penalty function to impose the constraints. Analyses in the package are driven by the 'intsp' and 'intgrd' classes, which are interval-valued extensions of 'SpatialPointsDataFrame' and 'SpatialPixelsDataFrame' respectively. The package includes several wrappers to functions in the 'gstat' and 'sp' packages.
