An object of class georob as returned by georob and
representing a (robustly) fitted spatial linear model. Objects of this
class have methods for model building (see
georobModelBuilding) and cross-validation (see
cv.georob), for computing (robust) Kriging predictions (see
predict.georob), for plotting (see
plot.georob) and for common generic functions (see
georobMethods).
A georob object is a list with following components:
the maximized (restricted) Gaussian log-likelihood of a
non-robust (RE)ML fit or NA for a robust fit if
tuning.psi is less than tuning.psi.nr.
the estimated parameters of a possibly nested variograms model. This is a list that contains for each variogram model structure the following components:
variogram.model: the name of the fitted parametric variogram
model.
param: a named numeric vector with the (estimated) variogram
parameters.
fit.param: a named logical vector with the flags defining what
variogram parameters were estimated.
isotropic: logical indicating whether an isotropic
variogram was fitted.
aniso: a named numeric vector with the (estimated)
anisotropy parameters.
sincos: a list with sin and cos of the
angles \(\omega\), \(\phi\) and \(\zeta\) that define the
orientation of the anisotropy ellipsoid.
rotmat: the matrix
\((\mbox{\boldmath$C$\unboldmath}_1,
\mbox{\boldmath$C$\unboldmath}_2,
\mbox{\boldmath$C$\unboldmath}_3)\) (see
georobIntro).
sclmat: a vector with the elements 1, \(1/f_1\),
\(1/f_2\) (see georobIntro).
a named numeric vector with the estimating equations (robust REML) or the gradient of the maximized (restricted) log-likelihood (Gaussian (RE)ML) evaluated at the solution .
the value of the tuning constant \(c\) of the \(\psi_c\)-function.
a named vector with the estimated regression coefficients.
a named vector with the fitted values of the external drift \(\mbox{\boldmath$X$\unboldmath}\widehat{\mbox{\boldmath$\beta$\unboldmath}}\).
a named vector with the predicted spatial random effects \(\widehat{\mbox{\boldmath$B$\unboldmath}}\) at the data locations.
a named vector with the residuals \(\widehat{\mbox{\boldmath$\varepsilon$\unboldmath}}=\mbox{\boldmath$Y$\unboldmath} - \mbox{\boldmath$X$\unboldmath} \widehat{\mbox{\boldmath$\beta$\unboldmath}} - \widehat{\mbox{\boldmath$B$\unboldmath}}\).
a named numeric vector with the “robustness weights” \(\psi(\widehat{\varepsilon}_i/\widehat{\tau}) / (\widehat{\varepsilon}_i/\widehat{\tau})\).
logical indicating whether numerical maximization of
the (restricted) log-likelihood by nlminb or optim or root
finding by nleqslv converged.
a diagnostic integer issued by
nlminb, optim (component
convergence) or nleqslv (component
termcd) about convergence.
a named integer vector of length two, indicating either
the compressed design matrix for replicated observations at coincident locations (integer vector that contains for each observation the row index of the respective unique location).
a list with covariance matrices (or diagonal variance
vectors). Covariance matrices are stored in compressed form (see
compress) and can be expanded to square matrices by
expand. What cov actually contains depends on the
flags passed to georob for computing covariances (see

cov.bhat: the covariances of
\(\widehat{\mbox{\boldmath$B$\unboldmath}}\).
cov.betahat: the covariances of
\(\widehat{\mbox{\boldmath$\beta$\unboldmath}}\).
cov.delta.bhat: the covariances of
\(\mbox{\boldmath$B$\unboldmath}- \widehat{\mbox{\boldmath$B$\unboldmath}}\).
cov.delta.bhat.betahat: the covariances of
\(\mbox{\boldmath$B$\unboldmath}- \widehat{\mbox{\boldmath$B$\unboldmath}}\)
and
\(\widehat{\mbox{\boldmath$\beta$\unboldmath}}\).
cov.ehat: the covariances of
\(\widehat{\mbox{\boldmath$\varepsilon$\unboldmath}}=\mbox{\boldmath$Y$\unboldmath} -
\mbox{\boldmath$X$\unboldmath} \widehat{\mbox{\boldmath$\beta$\unboldmath}} -
\widehat{\mbox{\boldmath$B$\unboldmath}}\).
cov.ehat.p.bhat: the covariances of
\(\widehat{\mbox{\boldmath$\varepsilon$\unboldmath}} +
\widehat{\mbox{\boldmath$B$\unboldmath}}
=\mbox{\boldmath$Y$\unboldmath} -
\mbox{\boldmath$X$\unboldmath} \widehat{\mbox{\boldmath$\beta$\unboldmath}}\).
cov.pred.target: a covariance term required for the
back-trans- formation of Kriging predictions of log-transformed data.
a named numeric vector with the expectations of
\(\partial \psi_c(x)/\partial x\) (dpsi) and
\(\psi_c^2(x)\) (psi2) with respect to a standard normal
distribution (exp.gauss) and the long-tailed distribution of
\(\varepsilon\) (exp.f0) implied by the choice of the
\(\psi_c\)-function.
a list of matrices in compressed form with (among others) the following components:
Valpha: a list with the (generalized) correlation
matrices (Valpha) of the nested variogram models structures
along with the constants (gcr.constant) added to the respective
semivariances matrices.
Valphaxi: the (generalized) correlation matrix
\(\mbox{\boldmath$V$\unboldmath}_{\alpha,\xi} =
\mbox{\boldmath$\Gamma$\unboldmath}_{\alpha,\xi} /
