- formula
formula that defines the dependent variable as a linear model of independent variables; suppose the dependent variable has name z
, for a rbf detrended use z~1
, for a rbf with trend, suppose z
is linearly dependent on x
and y
, use the formula z~x+y
(linear trend).
- data
SpatialPointsDataFrame: should contain the dependent variable, independent variables, and coordinates.
- eta
the optimal smoothing parameter; we recommend using the parameter found by minimizing the root-mean-square prediction errors using cross-validation
- rho
value of optimal robustness parameter; we recommend using the parameter
found by minimizing the root-mean-square prediction errors using cross-validation.
eta and rho parameters can be optimized simultaneously, through the bobyqa
function from nloptr
or minqa
packages
- n.neigh
number of nearest observations that should be used for a rbf prediction, where nearest is defined in terms of the spatial locations
- func
radial basis function model type, e.g. "GAU", "EXPON", "TRI", "TPS", "CRS", "ST", "IM" and "M", are currently available
