raster (version 2.0-41)

interpolate: Interpolate

Description

Make a RasterLayer with interpolated values using a fitted model object of classes such as 'gstat' (gstat package) or 'Krige' (fields pacakge). That is, these are models that have location ('x' and 'y', or 'longitude' and 'latitude') 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

## S3 method for class 'Raster':
interpolate(object, model, filename="", fun=predict, 
    xyOnly=TRUE, ext=NULL, const=NULL, index=1, na.rm=TRUE, debug.level=1, ...)

Arguments

object

Raster* object

model

Fitted model object

filename

Output filename (optional)

fun

function. Default value is 'predict', but can be replaced with e.g. 'predict.se' (depending on the class of the model object)

xyOnly

Logical. If TRUE, values of the Raster* object are not considered as co-variables; and only x and y (longitude and latitude) are used. This should match the model

ext

Extent object to limit the prediction to a sub-region of x

const

data.frame. Can be used to add a constant for which there is no Raster object for model predictions. This is particulary useful if the constant is a character-like factor value

index

integer. To select the column if 'predict.model' returns a matrix with multiple columns

na.rm

logical. Remove cells with NA values in the predictors before solving the model (and return NA for those cells). In most cases this will not affect the output. This option prevents errors with models that cannot handle NA values

debug.level

for gstat models only. See ?

...

additional arguments passed to the predict.'model' function

Value

• Raster* object

Examples

## Thin plate spline interpolation with x and y only
library(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)
plot(p)
se <- interpolate(p, tps, fun=predict.se)
se <- mask(se, r)
plot(se)


## gstat examples
library(gstat)
data(meuse)

## inverse distance weighted (IDW)
r <- raster(system.file("external/test.grd", package="raster"))
data(meuse)
mg <- gstat(id = "zinc", formula = zinc~1, locations = ~x+y, data=meuse, 
            nmax=7, set=list(idp = .5))
z <- interpolate(r, mg)
z <- mask(z, r)

## kriging
coordinates(meuse) <- ~x+y
projection(meuse) <- projection(r)

## ordinary kriging
v <- variogram(log(zinc)~1, meuse)
m <- fit.variogram(v, vgm(1, "Sph", 300, 1))
gOK <- gstat(NULL, "log.zinc", log(zinc)~1, meuse, model=m)
OK <- interpolate(r, gOK)

# examples below provided by Maurizio Marchi
## universial kriging
vu <- variogram(log(zinc)~elev, meuse)
mu <- fit.variogram(vu, vgm(1, "Sph", 300, 1))
gUK <- gstat(NULL, "log.zinc", log(zinc)~elev, meuse, model=mu)
names(r) <- 'elev'
UK <- interpolate(r, gUK, xyOnly=FALSE)

## co-kriging
gCoK <- gstat(NULL, 'log.zinc', log(zinc)~1, meuse)
gCoK <- gstat(gCoK, 'elev', elev~1, meuse)
gCoK <- gstat(gCoK, 'cadmium', cadmium~1, meuse)
gCoK <- gstat(gCoK, 'copper', copper~1, meuse)
coV <- variogram(gCoK)
plot(coV, type='b', main='Co-variogram')
coV.fit <- fit.lmc(coV, gCoK, vgm(model='Sph', range=1000))
coV.fit
plot(coV, coV.fit, main='Fitted Co-variogram')
coK <- interpolate(r, coV.fit)
plot(coK)
