spCopula: Spatial Copula

In spcopula: Copula Driven Analysis - Multivariate, Spatial, Spatio-Temporal

Description

Constructor of a bivariate spatial copula spCopula.

Usage

spCopula(components, distances, spDepFun, unit = "m")

Arguments

components	A list of bivariate copulas to be used at each lag.Will be supplemented by the independence copula.
distances	A vector of the mean distances of the lag classes PLUS the range which will define the use of the independence copula.
spDepFun	The spatial dependence function. Typically, the result of fitCorFun. If no spatial dependence function is provided, the spatial copula will be a pure linear convex combination of the provided components (i.e. no further fit of their parameters will take place).
unit	The spatial unit, default: m (meters)

Value

An instance of the spatial Copula class.
