Define a spacetime model object for the f() call.

Usage

stModel.define(
  smesh,
  tmesh,
  model,
  control.priors,
  constr = FALSE,
  debug = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  useINLAprecomp = TRUE,
  libpath = NULL
)

Arguments

smesh: a spatial mesh
tmesh: a temporal mesh
model: a three characters string to specify the smoothness alpha (each one as integer) parameters. Currently it considers the 102, 121, 202 and 220 models.
control.priors: a named list with parameter priors. E.g. prior.rs, prior.rt and prior.sigma as vectors with length two (U, a) to define the corresponding PC-prior such that P(r_s<U)=a, P(r_t<U)=a or P(sigma>U)=a. If a=0 then U is taken to be the fixed value of the parameter.
constr: logical to indicate if the integral of the field over the domain is to be constrained to zero. Default value is FALSE.
debug: logical indicating if to run in debug mode.
verbose: logical indicating if to print parameter values.
useINLAprecomp: logical indicating if is to be used shared object pre-compiled by INLA. Not considered if libpath is provided.
libpath: string to the shared object. Default is NULL.

Value

objects to be used in the f() formula term in INLA.
