raster (version 1.0.0-1)

interpolate: Interpolate

Description

Make a RasterLayer with interpolated values based on a a fitted model object of classes such as 'gstat' or 'Krige'. I.e. these are models that have 'x' and 'y' as independent variables. If x and y are the only independent variables provide an empty (no associated data in memory or on file) RasterLayer for which you want predictions. If there are more spatial predictor variables provide these as a Raster* object in the first argument of the function. If you do not have x and y locations as implicit predictors in your model you should use predict instead.

Usage

interpolate(object, ...)

Arguments

object

a Raster* object

...

Additional arguments. See below, under Methods

Value

• a RasterLayer object

Methods

predict(object, model, filename='', index=1, ...) rll{ object a RasterLayer object model A fitted model filename Output filename for a new raster; if NA the result is not written to a file but returned with the RasterLayer object, in the data slot index Which gstat variable do you want (see predict.gstat). In the case of kriging, 1=prediction and 2=prediction variance. ... Additional arguments, see below } The following additional arguments can be passed, to replace default values rll{ format Character. Output file type. See writeRaster datatype Character. Output data type. See dataType overwrite Logical. If TRUE, "filename" will be overwritten if it exists progress Character. Valid values are "text", "tcltk", "windows" (on that platform only) and "" }

require(fields)
r <- raster(system.file("external/test.grd", package="raster"))
ra <- aggregate(r, 10)
xy <- data.frame(xyFromCell(ra, 1:ncell(ra)))
v <- getValues(ra)
tps <- Tps(xy, v)
p <- raster(r)
p <- interpolate(p, tps)
p <- mask(p, r)
