similar to: Strange error message from geoR´s likfit () lik. max. func.

Hi I'm using geoR package to perform linear spatial interpolation(OK). The function likfit() fails to compute REML. The error meassage is : Error in solve.default(v$varcov, xmat); How I can find out that likfit() is failed to process and retrieving the error message ? Thank you so much for your help.

We want to compute a pseudo R-squared for a model whose parameter estimation was based on maximum likelihood (function likfit, package geoR). I tried to compute the R2 proposed by Maddala (1983) which compare the maximized likelihood for the model without any predictor and the maximized likelihood for the model with all predictors. I got a really low value (0,01%). Did I miss something? Are

Hi everyone !   I'm am trying to fit a kriging model to a set of data. When I just run the "likfit" command I can obtain the results. However when I try to pass additional arguements to the optimization function "optim" I get errors. That is I want to obtain the hessian matrix so matrix (hessian=TRUE).   Heres a little example( 1-D). Can anyone shed some light?  Where am I

I have been modelling spatial data using function likfit in package geoR. Now that I have the spatial regression models, I would like to calculate the amount of variance explained by both the trend and the spatial parts of the model. Any advice on how to do this would be much appreciated. Cheers, Ailsa

Dear Aaron, I am really a tool user and not a tool maker (actually an ecologist doing some biostatistics)... so, I take the liberty of sending a copy of this e-mail to the r-help list where capable computer persons and true statisticians may provide more relevant information and also to Paulo Ribeiro and Peter Diggle, the authors of geoR.. I really feel that your huge matrix cannot be

Greetings comRades: Has anyone worked out a procedure to calculate the estimated covariance between the beta and lambda estimates in the likelihood-based geostatistical model implemented in package geoR? If so, please help me out by letting me know. Do I have reasons to expect that this covariance term would be big or perhaps more happily, that it could be discarded without much effect?

I am having difficulty getting the trend.spatial function in geoR to work properly. After creating a trend.spatial object with a covariate, I try to add the command into my likfit() function as follows: trend1.trend.spatial <- trend.spatial("1st", trend1.geodata) trend1.spatial.EC0.1.reml <- likfit(spatial.geodata, trend1.trend.spatial, ini.cov.pars = spatial.EC0.1.eyefit,

Dear R users: I want to model mosquito count data based on landcover attributes and meteorological variables using a Poisson GLSM in the geoRglm package. I have monthly mosquito counts over more than 20 years with repeated observations from individual trap sites over time. I have used as.geodata() to successfully read my dataset into the geodata format utilized by geoR and geoRglm,

Hi, Im using geoR and I'm trying to do some predictions, based on an external trend. I'm having some problems specifying my model.control, specifically how do I define my model, and also the source of the covariate data at the prediction locations? I am assuming that the covariate data at the prediction locations should be imported to a geodata object along with the prediction location

Dear R users. I'm trying to fit a generalised linear spatial mode using the geoRglm package. To do so, I'm preparing my data (geodata) as follow: geoData9093 = as.geodata(data9093, coords.col= 17:18, data.col=15,* covar.col=16*) where covar.col is a factor variable (years in this case 90-91-92-93)). Then I run the model as follow: / model.5 = list(cov.pars=c(1,1),

Hi, I'm a new R user. My goal is to do a variogram using geoR. I started by trying to do the example in the geoR Illustrative Session using my own data. I am able to read in my Ascii data using: D <- matrix(scan("file.dat", n=530*3), 530,3, byrow=TRUE). Then I use: as.geodata(D, coords.col=1:2, data.col=3) to make the object D geodata. I check the descriptive statistics,

Hi I am struggling to fit a non-linear trend using the likfit function in geoR. Specifically I want a sigmoidal function, something like SSfpl in the nls package to fit the trend. But it seems trend.spatial in geoR only works with lm or glm type models. Any ideas how I can specify the model to calculate the kriging parameters using REML, including the parameters of a sigmoidal trend function

Hi, I want to automatically fit variograms to a large number of different sample data sets, and call the funtion "likfit" (in package geoR) from within a for-loop. "likfit" does again call "optim". After ssuccessfully fitting variograms to some of the data sets, the procedure crashes and I get the error message: Error in optim(par = ini, fn = negloglik.GRF,

I'm using R for Mac OSX version 1.14 (2129) and the geoR package version 1.6-5 (the current version in the R repository). I'm running R in OS 10.4.6 on a Mac G4 iBook (933MHz, 640 MB DDR SDRAM). I searched the R archive and did not find a posting on this issue. I want to use the variog and variog4 functions of geoR to characterize the pattern of spatial autocorrelation of tree

Hi, I'm writing some R code that requires a massive amount of looping and would ideally like to write it so that it avoid the use of "for" loop ... however I'm having some trouble. Very briefly, the basic idea is to implement a binary partitioning algorithm to determine the optimal cutpoint based on deviance measures obtained from likelihood estiamtes. This is in the

Dear GeoR-er, If I use the variog function in the latest release of geoR, the first lag is always ignored. For instance, if you read in geodata, calculates the variogram using the variog function and give in a uvec like uvec=seq(0,max,by=2.44), it only starts giving results from distance=4.88 and ignores 2.44! This wasn't the case in former versions of geoR. Is this done on purpose? Why?

All, I am new to using R and know some basics. I wish to use kriging in R to do the following: given data Y =f(X1,X2,X3,.....,Xn) --1000+ irregular measured data set. I would like to be able to get a single value y given sinle input set (x1,x2,x3,...xn) A google search on this takes me lierally to the same example on involving analysis with soil sampling and I cannot figure out how to

Hi all, I tried to produce some kriged surfaces with geoR (latest version). The size of the grid should be around 900 x 650 cells (what I find is not a very big grid), and the number of points is around 2500. The command krige.conv stopped after arround 5 min saying it can not allocate a vector with around 1.5 billion units. Sounds reasonable. Is there a workaround? How would I partition the
