Dear R-Sig-Geo,
I am trying to interpolate air pollution from air monitoring thanks to ordinary kriging in order to assign the pollution exposure for a sample of individual for the city of Phoenix, Arizona, using the Gstat package. However, I have some trouble to understand how my data should be projected in order to fit the variogram. My data are in longitude/latitude: id co1h latitude longitude 1 390 33.49462 -112.1310 2 470 33.48385 -112.1426 3 170 33.41045 -111.8651 4 210 33.56033 -112.0663 5 210 33.56936 -112.1915 6 360 33.45793 -112.0460 7 200 33.47968 -111.9172 8 300 33.46093 -112.1175 9 370 33.40316 -112.0753 10 180 33.29898 -111.8843 11 240 33.41240 -111.9347 12 150 33.63713 -112.3418 13 70 33.37005 -112.6207 14 310 33.50318 -112.0956 In order to fit the variogram I use the following commands with: co<-read.dta("co1h.dta") coordinates(co) = ~longitude+latitude v <- variogram(log(co1h) ~ 1, co) plot(v) vgm<-vgm(0.59638453, "Hol", 0.1490525,0.02910648, anis = c(90, 0.8)) v.fit<-fit.variogram(v, vgm) v.fit plot(v,fit.variogram(v, vgm)) Does anyone know if my projection is correct or whether I need to change it? If it is necessary to change, do you know how can I do it and what should be the correct projection? Thank you very much for your help!
