varioCalc: Variogram Calculation

Description

This function calculates (and plots) a variogram.

Usage

varioCalc(X, Y, el, max.dist = 300, title = "", km = TRUE, plot = TRUE)

Arguments

X

X-coordinate

Y

Y-coordinate

el

vector or matrix with data values

max.dist

a numerical value defining the maximum distance for the variogram. All pairs of locations separated for a distance larger than this value are ignored in the variogram calculation.

title

title for the plot

km

if TRUE the distances are given in km, otherwise the unit is m

plot

if TRUE the variogram is plotted, otherwise only the parameters are returned

Value

• vario.b
  a omnidirectional variogram
