\details{ \command{\link{RFvariogram}} computes the empirical
 cross-variogram for given (multivariate) spatial data. 


 The empirical
 (cross-)variogram of two random fields \eqn{X}{X} and \eqn{Y}{Y} is given by 
 \deqn{\gamma(r):=\frac{1}{2N(r)} \sum_{(t_{i},t_{j})|t_{i,j}=r} (X(t_{i})-X(t_{j}))(Y(t_{i})-Y(t_{j}))}{\gamma(r):=1/2N(r) \sum_{(t_{i},t_{j})|t_{i,j}=r} (X(t_{i})-X(t_{j}))(Y(t_{i})-Y(t_{j}))}
where \eqn{t_{i,j}:=t_{i}-t_{j}}{t_{i,j}:=t_{i}-t_{j}}, and where \eqn{N(r)}{N(r)} denotes the number of pairs of data points with distancevector 
\eqn{t_{i,j}=r}{t_{i,j}=r}. 

 
 The spatial coordinates \code{x}, \code{y}, \code{z}
   should be vectors. For random fields of
 spatial dimension \eqn{d > 3} write all vectors as columns of matrix x. In
 this case do neither use y, nor z and write the columns in
 \code{gridtriple} notation.

 If the data is spatially located on a grid a fast algorithm based on
 the fast Fourier transformed (fft) will be used.
 As advanced option the calculation method can also be changed for grid
 data (see \command{\link{RFoptions}}.)
