surface.Krig: Plots a surface and contours

Description

Creates different plots of the fitted surface of a Krig object. This is a quick way to look at the fitted function over reasonable default ranges.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'Krig':
surface(
object, grid.list = NULL, extrap = FALSE,
                 graphics.reset = NULL, xlab = NULL, ylab = NULL, main
                 = NULL, zlab = NULL, zlim = NULL, levels = NULL, type
                 = "C", nx = 80, ny = 80, ...)
## S3 method for class 'mKrig':
surface(
object, grid.list = NULL, extrap = FALSE,
                 graphics.reset = NULL, xlab = NULL, ylab = NULL, main
                 = NULL, zlab = NULL, zlim = NULL, levels = NULL, type
                 = "C", nx = 80, ny = 80, ...)

Details

This function is essentially a combination of predictSurface and plot.surface. It may not always give a great rendition but is easy to use for checking the fitted surface. The default of extrap=F is designed to discourage looking at the estimated surface outside the range of the observations.

NOTE: that any Z covariates will b edropped and only the spatial part of the model will be evaluated.
