getCov function

Estimation Helper Functions

functions which provide the theoretical covariance [getCov()] and area [getArea()] for specific models and parameter values

getCov(t1, t2, model, p)

Arguments

• t1: time 1
• t2: time 2
• model: the model
• p: vector of the auto-correlation parameters i.e. p = c(tau.z, tau.v)

Details

getCov(t1, t2, model, p) calculates the covariance matrix for different models. mvrnorm2 is a slightly more efficient multivariate normal function.
