gstlearn

Introduction

gstlearn is a package developed by the Geostatistical Team of Mines ParisTech. It contains several well established geostatistical functions and methods and some prototypes based on ongoing research.

Loading gstlearn

In each R session, you must load the gstlearn library

R used as a pocket calculator

1+3

## [1] 4

exp(log(sqrt(2^2)))

## [1] 2

Assignments

a = 1
b <- 3
a + b

## [1] 4

d = a + b
d

## [1] 4

d = 7
d

## [1] 7

Working directory

ls()
rm(d)
ls()

Quit

q()

Save the workspace (y).

The content of your session is saved in the file .Rdata (with the .Rhistory) of your working directory.

Caution: these files are hidden.

To continue, you must relaunch R (and load gstlearn again).

b <- 3
class(b)

Data Frame from a File

Download the ASCII file called Scotland_Temperatures.csv and store it on your disk in the current working directory.

filename = loadData("Scotland", "Scotland_Temperatures.csv")
temperatures = read.csv(filename,header=TRUE,na="MISS")
class(temperatures)
names(temperatures)

Some functions of interest

Function outer

A = c(2,4,10)
B = c(3,7)
outer(A,B,"-")

##      [,1] [,2]
## [1,]   -1   -5
## [2,]    1   -3
## [3,]    7    3

outer(A,B,"*")

##      [,1] [,2]
## [1,]    6   14
## [2,]   12   28
## [3,]   30   70

Loops

Dimension and initialize a vector: numeric

Loop from 1 to 10: store loop index in a vector; then print the vector

tab = numeric(10)
for (i in 1:10)
{
  tab[i] = i
}
print(tab)

##  [1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10

Create your own function

Generate a linear transform of the input argument

my.func = function(x,a=2,b=4)
{
  y = a * x + b
  y
}

Play my function

x = seq(0,20)
y = my.func(x)
plot(x,y,main="Plotting my function")
