- """fields: Tools for Spatial Data"""
+ """Tools for Spatial Data
+
+ For curve, surface and function fitting with an emphasis; on splines,
+ spatial data, geostatistics, and spatial statistics. The major methods;
+ include cubic, and thin plate splines, Kriging, and compactly supported;
+ covariance functions for large data sets. The splines and Kriging methods
+ are; supported by functions that can determine the smoothing parameter;
+ (nugget and sill variance) and other covariance function parameters by
+ cross; validation and also by restricted maximum likelihood. For Kriging;
+ there is an easy to use function that also estimates the correlation; scale
+ (range parameter). A major feature is that any covariance function;
+ implemented in R and following a simple format can be used for; spatial
+ prediction. There are also many useful functions for plotting; and working
+ with spatial data as images. This package also contains; an implementation
+ of sparse matrix methods for large spatial data; sets and currently
+ requires the sparse matrix (spam) package. Use; help(fields) to get started
+ and for an overview. The fields source; code is deliberately commented and
+ provides useful explanations of; numerical details as a companion to the
+ manual pages. The commented; source code can be viewed by expanding the
+ source code version; and looking in the R subdirectory. The reference for
+ fields can be generated; by the citation function in R and has DOI
+ <doi:10.5065/D6W957CT>. Development; of this package was supported in part
+ by the National Science Foundation Grant; 1417857, the National Center
+ for Atmospheric Research, and Colorado School of Mines.; See the Fields
+ URL; for a vignette on using this package and some background on spatial
+ statistics."""
