single_matern5 {smile}R Documentation

Matern covariance function (scalar - nu = 5/2)

Description

Computing the Matern covariance function for a single distance measure, with \nu = 5/2.

Usage

single_matern5(d, sigsq, phi)

Arguments

d

a scalar representing the distance on which it is desired to evaluate the covariance function.

sigsq

the \sigma^2 parameter from the Matern covariance function.

phi

the \phi parameter from the Matern covariance function, controls the range of the spatial dependence.

Value

a scalar representing the (matern) covariance between two observations d apart of each other.
