\description{
 \command{\link{RMdelay}} is a \eqn{(m+1)}-variate stationary covariance model.
 which depends on a univariate stationary covariance model \eqn{C_0}.
 
 The corresponding covariance function only depends on the difference
 \eqn{h \in {\bf R}^d}{h} between two points in \eqn{d}-dimensional
 space and is given by
 \deqn{C(h)=(C_0(h - s_i +s_j))_{i,j=0,\ldots,m}}
 where \eqn{s \in {\bf R}^{d\times m}}{h \in R^{d x m}} and \eqn{s_0=0}
}

\usage{
RMdelay(phi,s,var, scale, Aniso, proj)
}
\arguments{
 \item{phi}{a univariate stationary covariance model, that means an
 \command{\link{RMmodel}} whose \command{vdim} equals 1.}
 \item{s}{a \eqn{d\times m}{d x m}-dimensional
 shift matrix, where \eqn{d} is the
 dimension of the space, giving the components \eqn{s=(s_1,\ldots,
 s_m)}{s=(s_1,..., s_m)} where the \eqn{s_i} are vectors.}
 \item{var,scale,Aniso,proj}{optional arguments; same meaning for any
 \command{\link{RMmodel}}. If not passed, the above
 covariance function remains unmodified.}
}
\details{%See Wackernagel, H. (2003), p.?)
 Here, a multivariate random field is obtained from single univariate
 random field, by shifting it by fixed value.
