Computes covariance values (or pseudo-covariances) given a variogram model or covariance estimates given a semivariogram estimate.

covar(x, h, ...)

# S3 method for class 'svarmod'
covar(x, h, sill = x$sill, discretize = FALSE, ...)

# S3 method for class 'np.svar'
covar(x, h, sill = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x

variogram model (svarmod object) or semivariogram estimate.

h

vector (isotropic case) or matrix of lag values.

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods.

sill

(theoretical or estimated) variance \(C(0) = \sigma^2\) or pseudo-sill (unbounded variograms).

discretize

logical. If TRUE the variogram is previously discretized.

Value

A vector of (pseudo) covariance values \(C(h_i) = \sigma^2 - \gamma(h_i)\) or covariance estimates.
