Inter-station weight matrix computation

Description

Computation of the inter-station weight matrix that will be used by datest to estimate each station series from all other stations.

Usage

  matpesos(wa=5, wz=.001, verb=TRUE)

Arguments

wa Shape parameter of the weighting function 1/(1+d^2/wa), where d stands for distance. Low values (1-10) increase the weight of nearby stations, while high values (>1000) take in account also the far stations influence. Do wa=0 if you want an unweighted average of all the stations.
wz Scale parameter of the vertical coordinate Z. The default value assumes that X and Y are expressed in km, while Z is expressed in m. Can be used to change the Z weight in inter-station distance computations.
verb If TRUE, progress indications will be shown in the terminal.

Value

Object est.w is created, containing the computed weight matrix.
