In this tutorial, we show how the use of SPDE for Varying Anisotropy when this Anisotropy must follow a Spiral shape (defined as an external function)

Defining the Model as a single Bessel structure. This function is defined as anisotropic: we clearly specify the extension of the ranges in the two main directions. The angle does not have to be defined here: it will be overwritten later as the non-stationary parameter. Note that it is essential to define the short range of the anisotropy ellipsoid first (for the definition of angle as defined in the Spiral function used as a function)... otherwise future results will represent the shape otabined as the orthogonal of the spiral.

model = Model_createFromParam(ECov_BESSEL_K(), 1., 1., 1., c(4.,45.))

A Spiral function is defined and attached to the Model: this is a manner to update the Model by transforming the anisotropy angle as the unique non-stationary parameter.

spirale = FunctionalSpirale(0., -1.4, 1., 1., 50., 50.)
nostat = NoStatFunctional(spirale)
err = model$addNoStat(nostat)
model$display()

Creating a output grid

grid = DbGrid_create(c(101,101), c(1.,1.))

Perform several non-conditional simulations on the grid, using the Model and the non-stationarity.

nbsimu = 4
iuid = simulateSPDE(NULL,grid,model,nbsimu)

We represent the non-conditional simulations

p1 = ggDefaultGeographic() + plot.grid(grid, nameRaster="SimuSPDE.1")
p2 = ggDefaultGeographic() + plot.grid(grid, nameRaster="SimuSPDE.2")
p3 = ggDefaultGeographic() + plot.grid(grid, nameRaster="SimuSPDE.3")
p4 = ggDefaultGeographic() + plot.grid(grid, nameRaster="SimuSPDE.4")
ggarrange(p1, p2, p3, p4, ncol = 2, nrow = 2)

Extracting a set of nodes randomly located in order to create a data file which will serve as conditioning. The data is extracted from the first non-conditional simulation.

data = Db_createSamplingDb(grid, number=100, names=c("x1", "x2", "SimuSPDE.1"))
err = data$setName("*SimuSPDE.1", "data")
