geoS: S-PLUS functions for geostatistical analysis
P.J. Ribeiro Jr. & P.J. Diggle
Abstract
A S-PLUS library for geostatistical analysis, named geoS, is presented.
The functions in this library implement geostatistical methods like
descriptive analysis, variogram estimation and fitting, some types of
kriging and simulation of Gaussian random fields.
Some likelihood-based methods and Bayesian inference results for Gaussian
geostatistics are also implemented. {\tt geoS} is a public domain
library and instructions about how to download and install it are provided.
The functions and classes are listed divided into categories.
A simulated data-set is generated and analysed,
illustrating the main features of the library.
Details about the functions and their arguments and options are provided.
Keywords: S-PLUS library, geostatistics, spatial statistics.
