\title{"micro Krig"  Spatial process estimate of a curve or surface, 
"kriging" with a known covariance function. }
\description{
This is a simple version of the Krig function that is 
optimized for large data sets, sparse linear algebra, and a clear exposition of the
computations. Lambda, the smoothing parameter must be fixed. 
This function is called higher level functions for maximum likelihood estimates of 
covariance paramters. 
}
\usage{
mKrig(x, y, weights = rep(1, nrow(x)), Z = NULL, ZCommon =
                 NULL, cov.function = "stationary.cov", cov.args =

}
%- maybe also 'usage' for other objects documented here.
\arguments{
\item{collapseFixedEffect}{ If replicated fields are given to mKrig (i.e.
\code{y} has more than one column) there is the choice of estimating the
fixed effect coefficients (\code{d} in the returned object) separately
for each replicate or pooling across replicates and deriving a single
estimate. If \code{collapseFixedEffect} is TRUE (default) the estimates are
pooled. }
  
\item{chol.args}{A list of optional arguments (pivot, nnzR) that will
be used with the call to the cholesky decomposition. Pivoting is done
by default to make use of sparse matrices when they are
generated. This argument is useful in some cases for sparse covariance
functions to reset the memory parameter nnzR.  (See example below.)}

\item{cov.args}{A list of optional arguments that will be used in
  calls to the covariance function.}

\item{cov.function}{The name, a text string of the covariance function.}

\item{derivative}{If zero the surface will be evaluated. If not zero
  the matrix of partial derivatives will be computed.}

\item{digits}{Number of significant digits used in printed output.}

\item{drop.Z}{If true the fixed part will only be evaluated at the
polynomial part of the fixed model. The contribution from the other
covariates will be omitted.}

\item{find.trA}{
If TRUE will estimate the effective degrees of freedom using 
  a simple Monte Carlo method. This will add to the computational 
  burden by approximately NtrA solutions of the linear system but 
  the cholesky decomposition is reused.}

\item{grid.list}{A grid.list to evaluate the surface in place of specifying 
  arbitrary locations.}

\item{iseed}{Random seed ( using \code{set.seed(iseed)}) used to generate 
  iid normals for Monte Carlo estimate of the trace. Set this to an integer to insure the same random draws are used to compute the approximate trace and be consistent across different values of the covariance parameters. }

\item{just.fixed}{If TRUE only the predictions for the fixed part of
  the model will be evaluted.}
  
\item{lambda}{ Smoothing parameter or equivalently the ratio between 
  the nugget and process varainces.}

\item{m}{ The degree of the polynomial used in the fixed part.
This is follows the thin plate spline convention that the degree is m-1. 
Default is m=2 for a linear function, m=1 a constant and,
as an quick logical switch, m=0 will result in no fixed part in the spatial model.
}

\item{na.rm}{If TRUE NAs in y are omitted along with corresonding rows of x.}

\item{NtrA}{Number of Monte Carlo samples for the trace. But if NtrA is 
  greater than or equal to the number of observations the trace 
  is computed exactly.}

\item{object}{Object returned by mKrig. (Same as "x"
  in the print function.)}
  
\item{sigma2}{Value of the process variance.}  

\item{tau}{ Value of the measurment error (aka nugget)  standard deviation.}

\item{verbose}{If TRUE prints out intermediate values of objsects for debugging.}

\item{weights}{Precision ( 1/variance) of each observation}

\item{x}{Matrix of unique spatial locations (or in print or surface 
the returned mKrig object.)}

\item{xnew}{Locations for predictions.}

\item{y}{ Vector or matrix of observations at spatial locations, 
  missing values are not allowed! Or in mKrig.coef a new 
  vector of observations. If y is a matrix the columns are 
  assumed to be independent replicates of the spatial field.  I.e.
  observation vectors generated 
  from the same covariance and measurment error model but 
  independent from each other. 
}

\item{ynew}{New observation vector. \code{mKrig} will reuse matrix
  decompositions and find the new fit to these data.}

\item{Z}{ Linear covariates to be included in fixed part of the 
  model that are distinct from the default low order 
  polynomial in \code{x}. (NOTE the order of the polynomial
  determined by \code{m})}
  
\item{ZCommon}{  Linear covariates to be included in fixed part of the 
  model. This option is only relevant for independent realizations of the fields
  (i.e. y is a matrix). The number of rows of \code{ZCommon} should be equal to
  the
  number of observations times the number of realizations. } 

\item{\dots}{ In \code{mKrig} and \code{predict} additional arguments
that will be passed to the covariance function.}

}
\details{
 This function is an abridged version of Krig and uses a more direct
 computation for the linear algebra that faciliates compactly supported
 covariance functions. The m stand for micro
and 
done for a fixed lambda parameter and other covariance parameters (e.g. aRange) and for unique spatial locations. 
This is also the basic computational element of the top level \code{\link{spatialProcess} } function for finding MLEs. 
See the source code for a commented version that described the computation.
These restrictions simplify the code for reading. Note that also
little checking is done and the spatial locations are not transformed
before the estimation. 

\strong{Repeated locations} To keep the coding simple \code{x} must be a set of unique locations. When there are multiple observations at a location -- also known as replicated locations -- one strategy is to use the average spatial value for this location in place of mulitple observations.  One can also adjust the weights accordingly  for this location if that makes sense. To do this use the function 
\code{\link{Krig.replicates}}. 
For example 

\preformatted{
 out<- Krig.replicates( x=x, y=y)
}

and \code{out$xM, out$yM, out$weightsM} will be the unique locations with averaged values and the number of observations.  


\preformatted{
 out<- Krig.replicates( x=x, y=y, weights= weights)
}

will also combine the weight vector  based on the  replications and be returned as  \code{out$weightsM}.





\strong{Multiple fields}  Because most of the operations are linear
algebra this code has been written to handle multiple data
sets. Specifically, if the spatial model is the same except for
different observed values (the y's), one can pass \code{y} as a matrix
and the computations are done efficiently for each set.
The likelihood across all replicates is combined and denoted with  \code{FULL} at the end. Also note the \code{collapseFixedEffects} switch to determine if the regression part is found seperately for each replicate or combined into a single model. Note that
this is not a multivariate spatial model  -- just an efficient computation
over several data vectors without explicit looping. A big difference in
the computations is that an exact expression for the trace of the
smoothing matrix is (trace A(lambda)) is computationally expensive and
a Monte Carlo approximation is supplied instead.

\strong{Supporting functions}

See \code{predictSE.mKrig} for prediction standard errors and 
\code{sim.mKrig.approx} to quantify the uncertainty in the estimated function using conditional 
simulation.  

\code{predict.mKrig} will evaluate the derivatives of the estimated
function if derivatives are supported in the covariance function.  For
example the wendland.cov function supports derivatives.


\code{summary.mKrig} creates a list of class \code{mKrigSummary} along with a table of standard errors for the fixed linear parameters.

\code{print.mKrigSummary} prints the  \code{mKrigSummary} object and adds some more explanation about the model and results

\code{print.mKrig} prints a summary for the \code{mKrig} object that the combines the summary and  print methods.


\code{mKrig.coef} finds "beta"" and "c"  coefficients representing the
solution using the previous cholesky decomposition but  for a new data
vector. This is used in computing the prediction standard error in
predictSE.mKrig and can also be used to evalute the estimate
efficiently at new vectors of observations provided the locations, fixed part,  and
the covariance matrix  all remain  the same .

\strong{Sparse covariance functions} Sparse matrix methods are handled through overloading the usual linear
algebra functions with sparse versions. But to take advantage of some
additional options in the sparse methods the list argument chol.args
is a device for changing some default values. The most important of
these is \code{nnzR}, the number of nonzero elements anticipated in
the Cholesky factorization of the postive definite linear system used
to solve for the basis coefficients. The sparse of this system is
essentially the same as the covariance matrix evalauted at the
observed locations.  As an example of resetting \code{nzR} to 450000
one would use the following argument for chol.args in mKrig:

\code{ chol.args=list(pivot=TRUE,memory=list(nnzR= 450000))}

\strong{Approximation trace estimate}
\code{mKrig.trace} This is an internal function called by \code{mKrig}
to estimate the effective degrees of freedom.  The Kriging surface
estimate at the data locations is a linear function of the data and
can be represented as A(lambda)y.  The trace of A is one useful
measure of the effective degrees of freedom used in the surface
representation. In particular this figures into the GCV estimate of
the smoothing parameter.  It is computationally intensive to find the
trace explicitly but there is a simple Monte Carlo estimate that is
often very useful.  If E is a vector of iid N(0,1) random variables
then the trace of A is the expected value of t(E)AE. Note that AE is
simply predicting a surface at the data location using the synthetic
observation vector E. This is done for \code{NtrA} independent N(0,1)
vectors and the mean and standard deviation are reported in the
\code{mKrig} summary.  Typically as the number of observations is
increased this estimate becomse more accurate. If NtrA is as large as
the number of observations (\code{np}) then the algorithm switches to
finding the trace exactly based on applying A to \code{np} unit
vectors.
