Scale parameter, \(\gamma\in(0, 1/2]\). Default is 1/2.
nugget
The nugget effect \(\in[0, 1]\).
is.dist
Logical; if TRUE, x is a distance matrix or an array of
distance matrices.
Details
The exponential correlation function with scale parameter \(c\)
and smooth parameter \(\gamma\) has the form
$$C(x)=(1-\text{nugget})\exp(-c|x|^{2\gamma})+\text{nugget}\cdot
\delta_{x=0},$$ where \(\delta_{x=0}\) is 1 when \(x=0\) and 0 otherwise.
