CRAN_Status_Badge

stilt is an open-source R library for Separable Gaussian Process Interpolation, a type of statistical emulation.

The package, which is available on CRAN, comprises a set of R functions to build and use an interpolator (emulator) for time series or 1D regularly spaced data in multidimensional space. The standard usage is for interpolating time-resolved computer model output between model parameter settings. It can also be used for interpolating multivariate data (e.g., oceanographic time-series data, etc.) in space. There are functions to test the emulator using cross-validation, and to produce contour plots over 2D slices in model input parameter (or physical) space.

Installation

To install the stable version from CRAN, simply run the following R code:

install.packages("stilt")
library(stilt)

To install the latest development version directly from Github, run devtools:

install.packages("devtools") ##if not already installed
library(devtools)
devtools::install_github("scrim-network/Stilt-Rpkge")
library(stilt)

Getting Started

To learn more we highly recommend you check out the reference manual. The reference manual explains each stilt function/dataset in-depth and includes annotated examples.

Additionally we recommend you check out the technical report. This report describes the statistical background and equations for the separable emulator. R. Olson and W. Chang (2013): Mathematical framework for a separable Gaussian Process Emulator, Technical Report

Development notes

stilt depends on R(≥2.15.1), fields
