# corr_matrix: Power Exponential or Matern Correlation Matrix

## Description

Computes the power exponential or Matern correlation matrix for a set of n design points in d-dimensional input region and a vector of d correlation hyper-parameters (beta).

## Usage

corr_matrix(X, beta, corr = list(type = "exponential", power = 1.95))

## Arguments

X

the (n x d) design matrix

beta

a (d x 1) vector of correlation hyper-parameters in $$(-\infty, \infty)$$

corr

a list that specifies the type of correlation function along with the smoothness parameter. The default corresponds to power exponential correlation with smoothness parameter "power=1.95". One can specify a different power (between 1.0 and 2.0) for the power exponential, or use the Matern correlation function, specified as corr=list(type = "matern", nu=(2*k+1)/2), where $$k \in \{0,1,2,...\}$$

## Value

The (n x n) correlation matrix, R, for the design matrix (X) and the hyper-parameters (beta).

## Details

The power exponential correlation function is given by

$$R_{ij} = \prod_{k=1}^{d} \exp({-10^{\beta_k}|x_{ik}-x_{jk}|^{power}})$$.

The Matern correlation function given by Santner, Williams, and Notz (2003) is

$$R_{ij} = \prod_{k=1}^{d} \frac{1}{\Gamma(\nu)2^{\nu-1}}(2\sqrt{\nu}|x_{ik} -$$$$x_{jk}|10^{\beta_k})^\nu \kappa_{\nu}(2\sqrt{\nu}|x_{ik} -$$$$x_{jk}|10^{\beta_k})$$,

where $$\kappa_{\nu}$$ is the modified Bessel function of order $$\nu$$.
