buildMetadata: Build Metadata Table

Description

buildMetadata builds a metadata table of likelihood model descriptors in the PSGP framework. This is an internal function and it should not be used directly.

Usage

buildMetadata(observations)

Details

buildMetadata builds a metadata table of likelihood model descriptors in the PSGP framework. The likelihood models are assumed Gaussian with variances specified in the vector observations$oevar (the bias is assumed to be zero). Optionally, biases can be specified in the observations$oebias vector. However, biases are not taken into account in the current version of the PSGP package (they will be in a future release).

Examples

## Load our favourite dataset
  data(meuse)
  obs <- meuse
  
  ## Number of observations
  nobs <- length(obs$y)
  
  ## Indicate which likelihood model should be used for each observation
  obs$oeid  <- seq(1:nobs)
  
  ## Use random variances for the sake of the example
  obs$oevar <- rnorm( max(obs$oeid) )
  
  ## Generate metadata table and print it out
  metadata <- buildMetadata(obs)
  print(metadata)
