\title{Power operator for Variograms and Covariance functions}
\description{
\command{\link{RMpower}} yields a variogram or covariance model
from a given variogram or covariance model.
The variogram \eqn{\gamma}{gamma} of the model is given by
\deqn{ \gamma = \phi^\alpha }{gamma=phi^alpha}
if \eqn{\phi}{phi} is a variogram model.
The covariance \eqn{C}{C} of the model is given by
\deqn{ C(h) = \phi(0)-(\phi(0)-\phi(h))^\alpha }{C(h) = phi(0)-(phi(0)-phi(h))^alpha}
if \eqn{\phi}{phi} is a covariance model.
}
\usage{
RMpower(phi, alpha, var, scale, Aniso, proj)
}
\arguments{
\item{phi}{a valid \command{\link{RMmodel}}; either a variogram model or a
covariance model}
\item{alpha}{a numerical value in the interval [0,1]}
\item{var,scale,Aniso,proj}{optional arguments; same meaning for any \command{\link{RMmodel}}. If not passed, the above covariance function remains unmodified.}
}
\details{
If \eqn{\gamma} is a variogram, then \eqn{\gamma^\alpha} is a valid
variogram for \eqn{\alpha} in the interval [0,1].
}
\value{
\command{\link{RMpower}} returns an object of class \code{\link[=RMmodel-class]{RMmodel}}.
