dot-cor_exp function

Calculate exponential correlation

.cor_exp(x, c, gamma = 1/2, nugget = 0)

Arguments

• x: A numeric vector, matrix, or array.
• c: Smooth parameter, $c>0$.
• gamma: Scale parameter, $\gamma\in(0, 1/2]$. Default is 1/2.
• nugget: The nugget effect $\in[0, 1]$.

Returns

Correlations of the same dimension as x.

Details

The exponential correlation function with scale parameter $c$

and smooth parameter $\gamma$ has the form

where $\delta_{x=0}$ is 1 when $x=0$ and 0 otherwise.
