\description{
\command{\link{RMstable}} is a stationary isotropic covariance model
belonging to the so called stable family.
The corresponding covariance function only depends on the distance
\eqn{r \ge 0}{r \ge 0} between two points and is given by
\deqn{C(r) = e^{-r^\alpha}}{C(r)=e^{-r^\alpha}}
where \eqn{\alpha \in (0,2]}{0 < \alpha \le 2}.
}
\usage{
RMstable(alpha, var, scale, Aniso, proj)
RMpoweredexp(alpha, var, scale, Aniso, proj)
}
\arguments{
\item{alpha}{a numerical value; should be in the interval (0,2]
to provide a valid covariance function for a random field of any
dimension.
}
\item{var,scale,Aniso,proj}{optional arguments; same meaning for any
\command{\link{RMmodel}}. If not passed, the above
covariance function remains unmodified.}
}
\details{
The parameter \eqn{\alpha}{\alpha} determines the fractal dimension
\eqn{D}{D} of the Gaussian sample paths:
\deqn{ D = d + 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}}{D = d + 1 - \alpha/2}
where \eqn{d}{d} is the dimension of the random field.
For \eqn{\alpha < 2}{\alpha < 2} the Gaussian sample paths are not
differentiable (cf. Gelfand et al., 2010, p. 25).
Each covariance function of the stable family is a normal scale mixture.
The stable family includes the exponential model (see
\command{\link{RMexp}}) for \eqn{\alpha = 1}{\alpha = 1} and the Gaussian
model (see \command{\link{RMgauss}}) for \eqn{\alpha = 2}{\alpha = 2}.
The model is called stable, because in the 1-dimensional case the
covariance is the characteristic function of a stable random variable
(cf. Chiles, J.-P. and Delfiner, P. (1999), p. 90).
