\title{Fitting model parameters to spatial data (regionalised variables)
and to linear (mixed) models}
\description{
The function estimates arbitrary parameters of
a random field specification with various methods.
Currently, the models to be fitted can be
\itemize{
\item{\link[=RPgauss]{Gaussian random fields}}
\item{\link[=RFformula]{linear models}}
}
The fitting of max-stable random fields and others
has not been implemented yet.
}
\usage{
RFfit(model, x, y = NULL, z = NULL, T = NULL, grid=NULL, data,
lower = NULL, upper = NULL, methods,
sub.methods, optim.control = NULL, users.guess = NULL,
distances = NULL, dim, transform = NULL, params=NULL, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{model,params}{\argModel
All parameters that are set to \code{NA} will be estimated;
see the examples below.
Type \code{\link{RFgetModelNames}(type="variogram")} to get all options
for \code{model}.
}
\item{x}{\argX}
\item{y,z}{\argYz}
\item{T}{\argT}
\item{grid}{\argGrid}
\item{data}{\argData}
\item{lower}{\argLower}
\item{upper}{\argUpper}
\item{methods}{\argFitmethods}
\item{sub.methods}{\argFitsubmethods. See Details.}
\item{users.guess}{\argUsersguess}
\item{distances,dim}{\argDistances}
\item{optim.control}{\argOptimcontrol}
\item{transform}{\argTransform}
\item{...}{\argDots}
}
\details{
For details on the simulation methods see
\itemize{
\item \link{fitgauss} for \link[=RPgauss]{Gaussian random fields}
\item \link{fitgauss} for \link[=RFformula]{linear models}
}
If \code{x}-coordinates are not given, the function will check
\code{data} for \code{NA}s and will perform imputing.
The function has many more options to tune the optimizer,
see \command{\link{RFoptions}} for details.
If the model defines a Gaussian random field, the options
for \code{methods} and \code{submethods} are currently
\code{"ml"} and \code{c("self", "plain", "sqrt.nr", "sd.inv", "internal")},
respectively.
}
\note{
\itemize{
\item
An important optional argument is \code{boxcox} which indicates
a Box-Cox transformation; see \code{boxcox} in \command{\link{RFoptions}}
and \code{RFboxcox} for details.
\item
Instead of \command{\link[stats]{optim}}, other optimisers can be used,
see \link{RFfitOptimiser}.
\item
Several advanced options can be found in sections \sQuote{General
options} and \sQuote{fit} of \command{\link{RFoptions}}.
\item
In particular, \code{boxcox}, \code{boxcox_lb}, \code{boxcox_ub}
allow Box-Cox transformation.
\item
This function does not depend on the value of
\command{\link{RFoptions}}\code{()$PracticalRange}.
The function \code{RFfit} always uses the standard specification
of the covariance model as given in \command{\link{RMmodel}}.
}
}
\value{
The result depends on the logical value of
\code{\link[=RFoptions]{spConform}}.
If \code{TRUE}, an S4 object is created. In case the model indicates
a Gaussian random field, an
\link[=RFfit-class]{RFfit} object is created.
If \code{spConform=FALSE}, a list is returned.
In case the model indicates
a Gaussian random field, the details are given in \link{fitgauss}.
