predict.trls {spatial}R Documentation

Predict method for trend surface fits

Description

Predicted values based on trend surface model object

Usage

predict(obj, x, y)

Arguments

obj Fitted trend surface model object returned by surf.ls
x Vector of prediction location eastings (x coordinates)
y Vector of prediction location northings (y coordinates)

Value

predict.trls produces a vector of predictions corresponding to the prediction locations. To display the output with image or contour, use trmat or convert the returned vector to matrix form.

Examples

data(topo)
topo2 <- surf.ls(2, topo)
topo4 <- surf.ls(4, topo)
x <- c(1.78, 2.21)
y <- c(6.15, 6.15)
z2 <- predict(topo2, x, y)
z4 <- predict(topo4, x, y)
cat("2nd order predictions:", z2, "\n4th order predictions:", z4, "\n")
