similar to: spatial auto-correlation structure in nlme

Dear Users, >From previous analysis (semi-variograms using package gstat), I found spatial autocorrelation in my dataset. The best fitted model to this spatial correlation structure is the Gaussian model (Spherical, Exponential, Linear tested and comparison done by Sum of Square errors). So I used corGaus function to define this spatial autocorrelation in my lme model using the option

I am having trouble fitting correlation structures within nlme. I would like to fit corCAR1, corGaus and corExp correlation structures to my data. I either get the error "step halving reduced below minimum in pnls step" or alternatively R crashes. My dataset is similar to the CO2 example in the nlme package. The one major difference is that in my case the 'conc' steps are

Hello, Sorry to be a bit longwinded, but I've struggled quite a bit with the following over the last few days. I've read all entries related to spatial autocorrelation in R help and haven't found what I'm after. If it's okay, I'm going to first describe my general understanding of the process by which a mixed model can account for correlated errors. If possible, please

Dear R-users, I hope you will have time to read me and I will try to be brief. I am also sorry for my poor english. I used gls function from the package nlme to correct two types of bias in my database. At first, because my replicates are spatially aggregated, I would like to fit a corStruct function like corLin, corSpher, corRatio, corExp or corGaus in my gls model, and simultaneously,

Hi all, I wrote a piece of code that generates simulated variables. after variable generation I use them in several analyzes. However, when I use a for to repeat the procedure 1000 times I get an erro message in one of the "for" steps, precisely at this time: gls.temp<- gls(y2 ~ x2,correlation=corExp(form=~coord2[,1]+coord2[,2])) # coord 2 are spatial coordinates and the error

Dear R users, I am using lme and nlme to account for spatially correlated errors as random effects. My basic question is about being able to correct F, p, R2 and parameters of models that do not take into account the nature of such errors using gls, glm or nlm and replace them for new F, p, R2 and parameters using lme and nlme as random effects. I am studying distribution patterns of 50 tree

R Users: ...been working with the sp and gstat packages for the past couple of days in an effort to analyze a set of ~ 200 soil samples collected from various eastings, northings, and depths and containing a wide range of measured hydrocarbon concentrations. Thus far, I've managed to import the data, log-transform the concentrations, assign coordinates, generate and fit a variogram model and

Hello, I would like to fit correlation structures with nlme, but R crashes. My data is similar to the "growth of orange trees" example from Pinheiro and Bates (2000), but data are not equally spaced in time, as the last observation is taken after 6 days ( and not 2 as the others). This is the code I'm using: library(nlme)

Hi, I'm trying to introduce a (spatial) exponential correlation structure (with range=200 and nugget.effet of 0.3) in a lme model of this form: lme(ARBUS~YEAR, random=~1|IDSOUS). The structure of the data is "IDSOUS" "XMIN" "YMAX" "YEAR" "ARBUS" with 2 years of data and 5600 points for each year. I do:

Hello, I am attempting to get the standard deviation in multiple distance bins in my spatial data. It appears as though the 'variog' command in the geoR package will do the trick, as one of the outputs from 'variog' is 'variog$sd', which, according to the manual, is the "standard deviation of the values in each bin". However, when I run this command, the

Hello Trying to develop variograms and kriged surfaces from a point file. Here is what I've done so far. library(gstat) # also loads library(sp) library(lattice) soilpts$x <- soilpts$UTM_X soilpts$y <- soilpts$UTM_Y soil.dat <- subset(soilpts, select=c(x, y, Area, BulkDensity, LOI, TP, TN, TC, Total_Mg)) dim(soil.dat) [1] 1292 7 coordinates(soil.dat) <- ~ x+y

Hi, I'm not sure how use curve(dexGAUS(… None of the following four works: rt<- rexGAUS(100, mu=300, nu=100, sigma=35) m1<-gamlss(rt~1, family=exGAUS) curve(dexGAUS(rt=x, mu=300 ,sigma=35,nu=100), 100, 600, main = "The ex- GAUS density mu=300 ,sigma=35,nu=100") curve(dexGAUS(x=rt, mu=300 ,sigma=35,nu=100), 100, 600, main = "The ex- GAUS density mu=300

Hi, I have a spatial data set with many observations (~50,000) and would like to keep as much data as possible. There is spatial dependence, so I am attempting a mixed model in R with a spherical variogram defining the correlation as a function of distance between points. I have tried nlme, lme, glmmML, and glmmPQL. In all case the matrix needed (seems to be (N^2)/2 - N) is too large for my

Hello, I am running an ARMA model to run forecast for changes in S&P 500 prices. My ARMA calculations look as follows armacal <- arma( spdata, order = c(0,4), lag = list(ma = c(1,2,4)) ) Output: Call: arma(x = spdata, order = c(0, 4), lag = list(ma = c(1, 2, 4)) ) Coefficient(s): ma1 ma2 ma4 intercept -0.073868 0.058020 -0.081292 0.007082 All's

Hello, can any one point me to R-packages (if available) which include spatial Markov Chain methods? My second question is more general but hopefully not OT: Currently we are using the software TPROGS, which let people simulate property distributions in space by some Markov Chain approaches. We face some problems due to the lack of information between distances of samples along borehole path

Dear R users, I'm applying a correlation structure in a mixed model (nmle function) to control for spatial correlation between land parcels that are adjacent to each other. I generated X,Y coordinates in ArcGIS for each land parcel and used them in the correlation form like this: test.exp<-corExp(1, form = ~ X + Y) test.exp<- Initialize(test.exp,dataset) However, the correlation

Dear all, I have been using the function gls in the package nlme in R to fit some spatial regressions (as described in Dormann et al.). However, I have been struggling trying to find a way to calculate a measure of effect size from these models, so I wanted to know if any of you had an idea on how to do this. More precisely, I am producing a multiple model with an exponential correlation

I need to perform a QR-decomposition of a sparse matrix, so I've been trying to use the Matrix package. Unfortunately I don't seem to be getting exactly the same results as if I had used the qr() command from the base package. Here is an example of what I'm doing. > spdata <-rpois(50,1) > y <- rnorm(10,0,1) > S <-

Hello, I having trouble running the CAPdiscrim function located in biodiversityR. My data tables are as follows: community data frame (called "spdata") Species1...

Hi All, I am a PhD student in forestry science and I am working with LiDAR data set (huge data set). I am a brand-new in R and geostatistic (SORRY, my background it?s in forestry) but I wish improve my skill for improve myself. I wish to develop a methodology to processing a large data-set of points (typical in LiDAR) but there is a problem with memory. I had created a subsample data-base but
