variogramSurface function

Semivariance values for a given spatio-temporal variogram model

Generates a surface of semivariance values given a spatio-temporal variogram model (one of separable, productSum, sumMetric, simpleSumMetric or metric)

variogramSurface(model, dist_grid, covariance = FALSE)

Arguments

• model: A spatio-temporal variogram model generated through vgmST or fit.StVariogram.
• dist_grid: A data.frame with two columns: spacelag and timelag.
• covariance: Whether the covariance should be computed instead of the variogram (default: FALSE).

Returns

A data.frame with columns spacelag, timelag and gamma.

                        space=vgm(0.86, "Exp", 476, 0.14),
                        time =vgm(   1, "Exp",   3, 0),
                        sill=113)

data(vv)

plot(vv, separableModel, wireframe=TRUE, all=TRUE)
