SofiaPar: Parameters for SOFIA models

In SOfireA: Satellite Observations for Fire Activity

Description

The function creates an object of class 'SofiaPar' (which is actually a list) which contains information about Sofia model parameters.

Usage

SofiaPar(x.names, per.group = rep(FALSE, length(x.names)), group.names = NULL, 
    par.act = NULL, par.prior = NULL, par.lower = NULL, par.upper = NULL, 
    ...)

Arguments

x.names	names of independent variables
per.group	a boolean vector that indicates if a column in x acts per group (e.g. PFTs)
group.names	names of groups
par.act
par.prior	prior parameters
par.lower	lower parameter limits
par.upper	upper parameter limits
...	further arguments

Details

No details.

Value

An object of class 'SofiaPar', which is actually a list.

Examples

# explanatory variables
sm <- 1:100
temp <- rnorm(100, 12, 10)
x <- cbind(sm, temp)

# fractional coverage of groups, e.g. plant functional types
tree <- runif(100, 0, 0.8)
grass <- 1 - tree
area <- cbind(tree, grass)

# parameters for SOFIA models
par <- SofiaPar(colnames(x), per.group=c(TRUE, FALSE), group.names=c("tree", "grass"))
