kmEstimate is used to fit kriging models. This function should not be called directly, due to the environments defined in km to avoid computing twice nxn matrices. Call km instead.
kmEstimate(model, envir)an object of class km.
an environment specifying where to assign intermediate values for future gradient calculations.
An object of class km.
