R: Spatial Covariance Functions

expcov {spatial} | R Documentation

## Spatial Covariance Functions

### Description

Spatial covariance functions for use with `surf.gls`.

### Usage

    expcov(r, d, alpha = 0, se = 1)
    gaucov(r, d, alpha = 0, se = 1)
    sphercov(r, d, alpha = 0, se = 1, D = 2)

### Arguments

`r` | vector of distances at which to evaluate the covariance
`d` | range parameter
`alpha` | proportion of nugget effect
`se` | standard deviation at distance zero
`D` | dimension of spheres.

### Value

vector of covariance values.
