cgeneric_sspde: Define the stationary SPDE cgeneric model for INLA.

In eliaskrainski/INLAspacetime: Spatial and Spatio-Temporal Models using 'INLA'

Define the stationary SPDE cgeneric model for INLA.

Description

Define the stationary SPDE cgeneric model for INLA.

Usage

cgeneric_sspde(
  mesh,
  alpha,
  control.priors,
  constr = FALSE,
  debug = FALSE,
  useINLAprecomp = TRUE,
  libpath = NULL
)

Arguments

mesh	triangulation mesh to discretize the model.
alpha	integer used to compute the smoothness parameter.
control.priors	named list with parameter priors. This shall contain prange and psigma each one as a length two vector with (U, a) to define the PC-prior parameters such that P(range<U)=a and P(sigma>U)=a, respectively. See Fuglstad et. al. (2019) <DOI: 10.1080/01621459.2017.1415907>. If a=0 or a=NA, then U is taken to be the fixed value of the parameter.
constr	logical, default is FALSE, to indicate if the integral of the field over the domain is to be constrained to zero.
debug	integer, default is zero, indicating the verbose level. Will be used as logical by INLA.
useINLAprecomp	logical, default is TRUE, indicating if it is to be used the shared object pre-compiled by INLA. This is not considered if 'libpath' is provided.
libpath	string, default is NULL, with the path to the shared object.

Value

objects to be used in the f() formula term in INLA.

Note

This is the stationary case of INLA::inla.spde2.pcmatern() with slight change on the marginal variance when the domain is the sphere, following Eq. (23) in Lindgren et. al. (2024).
