Hi Frederico,
gstat does not have different behaviour, because autofitVariogram is using fit.variogram, after some preprocessing. You get the convergency problems with fit.variogram because you don't supply start values for the variogram, which is done in the preprocessing of autofitVariogram.

The problem is really in the Ste model (Matern, M. Stein's parameterization). The warning only happens when I execute this model. However in the gstat with the same parameters for lambda have problem of convergency. Do you think the gstat have different bevavior to the same issue? av <- autofitVariogram(jan~1, pr, model = "Ste", verbose = T) # In fit.variogram(experimental_variogram, model = vgm(psill = psill, ... : value out of range in 'bessel_k' # define the same kappa values of automap seq.k <- c(0.05, seq(0.2, 2, 0.1), 5, 10) ve <- variogram(jan~1, pr) v <- fit.variogram(v, vgm("Ste"), fit.kappa = seq.k) Warning messages: 1: In fit.variogram(object, model, fit.sills = fit.sills, fit.ranges = fit.ranges, : No convergence after 200 iterations: try different initial values? 2: In fit.variogram(object, model, fit.sills = fit.sills, fit.ranges = fit.ranges, : No convergence after 200 iterations: try different initial values? 3: In fit.variogram(o, m, fit.kappa = FALSE, fit.method = fit.method, : No convergence after 200 iterations: try different initial values?

It seems the warnings were generated in the C-code of gstat, based on some of the tested kappa-values for the Matern variogram (Stein implementation). It also seems that these kappa values did not give good fits to the sample variogram, so you did not get the warning from the best fit variogram in this case.

Then I imagine the warning is from another function. I fitted the variogram automatically in the automap and after I fitted in the gstat to check if there is the same warning for that parameters, but in the last I do not have any warning. When I check the variogram model, it has a good fit apparently. I provided the reproductible example below. Do you know the consequences of this warning and how can I avoid it? I would like to use the automap package because I need interpolate many other files like this. # example library(automap) library(sp) # download the data in: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__drive.google.com_file_d_1L33-5FQgpNMdwvWff-5FuMrwhl-5FKCajrtlVe_view-3Fusp-3Dsharing&d=DwICAg&c=8NwulVB6ucrjuSGiwL_ckQ&r=DA6jV5X00Z1YpyMh4OS79xeSQGErBqY83CBz841DNnU&m=YlpT3yKlbNVLvXMp08O8X1LkniHGXTzJeLDHLTotwOI&s=U2z98vHb1mpKhKJ9UXA0RUrPi6r6IXibq1cuuyB0jWY&e= # read the data pr <- read.table('pr_monC.txt', header = TRUE, sep = "\t") coordinates(pr) <- ~long+lat # read the grid gr <- read.table('grid.txt' , header = TRUE, sep = '\t') gridded(gr) <- ~long+lat # automatic fit variogram with automap av <- autofitVariogram(jan~1, pr) # warnings message: In fit.variogram(experimental variogram, model = vgm(psill = psill, ... : value out of range in 'bessel k' plot(av) # get in the graph the parameters to fit the variogram # fit variogram in gstat with the model parameters from autofitVariogram to check if there is any warning message too ve <- variogram(jan~1, pr) v <- fit.variogram(ve, vgm(psill = 9723, model = "Ste", range = 20, nugget = 194, kappa = 0.8)) # it does not produce any warning plot(ve, v) Best regards, Frederico [[alternative HTML version deleted]] _______________________________________________ R-sig-Geo mailing list R-sig-Geo@r-project.org<mailto:R-sig-Geo@r-project.org> https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__stat.ethz.ch_mailman_listinfo_r-2Dsig-2Dgeo&d=DwICAg&c=8NwulVB6ucrjuSGiwL_ckQ&r=DA6jV5X00Z1YpyMh4OS79xeSQGErBqY83CBz841DNnU&m=YlpT3yKlbNVLvXMp08O8X1LkniHGXTzJeLDHLTotwOI&s=wzYnAjR9sQtl23JiTMc5f1m79m8uQgUt9DSCj3wuTeA&e= [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
