dump2dir: dump2dir function

In bentaylor1/lgcp: Log-Gaussian Cox Process

Description

This function, when set by the gridfunction argument of setoutput, in turn called by the argument output.control of lgcpPredict facilitates the dumping of data to disk. Data is dumped to a netCDF file, simout.nc, stored in the directory specified by the user. If the directory does not exist, then it will be created. Since the requested data dumped to disk may be very large in a run of lgcpPredict, by default, the user is prompted as to whether to proceed with prediction, this can be turned off by setting the option forceSave=TRUE detailed here. To save space, or increase the number of simulations that can be stored for a fixed disk space the option to only save the last time point is also available (lastonly=TRUE, which is the default setting).

Usage

dump2dir(dirname, lastonly = TRUE, forceSave = FALSE)

Arguments

dirname	character vector of length 1 containing the name of the directory to create
lastonly	only save output from time T? (see ?lgcpPredict for definition of T)
forceSave	option to override display of menu

Value

object of class dump2dir
