R_smooth.FEM.basis: Spatial regression with differential regularization (fully implemented in R code)

Description

Spatial regression with differential regularization (fully implemented in R code)

Usage

R_smooth.FEM.basis(locations, observations, FEMbasis, lambda, covariates, GCV)

Arguments

locations

A #observations-by-2 matrix where each row specifies the spatial coordinates of the corresponding observations in the vector observations.

observations

A #observations vector with the observed data values over the domain. The locations of the observations can be specified with the locations argument. Otherwise if only the vector of observations is given, these are consider to be located in t

FEMbasis

A FEMbasis object describing the Finite Element basis, as created by create.FEM.basis.

lambda

A scalar or vector of smoothing parameters.

covariates

A #observations-by-#covariates matrix where each row represents the covariates associated with the corresponding observed data value in observations.

GCV

Boolean. If TRUE the following quantities are computed: the trace of the smoothing matrix, the estimated error standard deviation, and the Generalized Cross Validation criterion, for each value of the smoothing parameter specified in

Value

• A list with the following quantities:
• fit.FEM
  A FEM object that represents the fitted spatial field.
• PDEmisfit.FEM
  A FEM object that represents the Laplacian of the estimated spatial field.
• beta
  If covariates is not NULL, a vector of length #covariates with the regression coefficients associated with each covariate.
• edf
  If GCV is TRUE, a scalar or vector with the trace of the smoothing matrix for each value of the smoothing parameter specified in lambda.
• stderr
  If GCV is TRUE, a scalar or vector with the estimate of the standard deviation of the error for each value of the smoothing parameter specified in lambda.
• GCV
  If GCV is TRUE, a scalar or vector with the value of the GCV criterion for each value of the smoothing parameter specified in lambda.
