Roger,
I have made considerable progress in what I was trying to do with gstat
& Universal Kriging using R. I was fortunate enough to find a detailed
example of what I was trying to do:
http://spatial-analyst.net/RKguide.php.
I exported from GRASS my elevation grid, "gtopo30.dem", and temperature
point file, "temps.txt", to ascii files to assure I followed a parallel
path with my data.
So, with my data, following Tomislav Hengl's example, I have:
> temps<-read.delim("temps.txt",sep=" ")
> summary(temps)

TEMPERATURE")
Which works perfectly on my Macintosh running Mac OS X 10.4 and using R
2.2.1. (see attachment, temperatures in deg. F) However, following the
*identical* steps with the identical data on Linux, at the step:
temps_uk<-krige(T~gtopo30.dem,temps,dem, vgm_temps_r)
I get the error:
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : object "gtopo30.dem" not found
This has me baffled; any thoughts? I could send you my files if you
would like to see what happens for you…
Regards,
Tom
BTW, the grid spacing on my DEM is coarse (9 km) and I will probably do
my final analyses at 1-km.

Roger,
Your suggestion:
fullgrid(dem) <- FALSE
did turn dem into class type SpatialGridDataFrame, but when I tried:
z <- predict(UK_fit,newdata=dem)
I got an error:
Error in model.frame(... :
invalid variable type.
I think I should restate the problem:
I have a file 'temps' which has class SpatialPointsDataFrame read from
GRASS 6.1, that looks like:

and I have a a file 'dem' which has class SpatialGridDataFrame which
just consists of grid of elevation values read from GRASS 6.1 using
dem<-readFLOAT6sp(). (Sorry, I know I'm repeating myself).
What I want to do is to use the grid of elevation values ('dem') as a
proxy in the spatial interpolation of the 'temp' values in my 'temps'
file that are located at the coordinates in parentheses(). Notice that
the temps file also has 'z' values of elevations. So, is this what you
already understood? Converting 'dem' to a SpatialPixelsDataFrame seemed
to only leave me with the grid locations and not the elevation values —
is this right.
What does:
summary(dem)
say before and after doing
fullgrid(dem) <- FALSE?
Afterwards it should be a SpatialPixelsDataFrame with
names(dem)
being "z". Saying summary(dem) will give you an idea of what is inside,
str() should too.
Roger
PS. This is usually a one-off thing, once it works, you note down how, and
then it just does from then on.
Thanks again for your help!

Tom

Roger,
This got me further along, but I am encountering a problem with:
z <- predict(UK_fit, newdata=BMcD_SPx)
The gstat step works for me, where I have:
UK_fit<-gstat(formula=temps$temp~dem,data=temps,model=efitted)
temps has class SpatialPointsDataFrame:

and dem has class SpatialGridDataFrame and just consists of grid values.
I think
fullgrid(dem) <- FALSE
should make a SpatialPixelsDataFrame, but you'll have to make sure the
name of the dem variable is the same as in the formula.
Roger
I tried to create a SpatialPixelsDataFrame for predict(), but with (for
example):
m = SpatialPixelsDataFrame(points=meuse.grid[c("x","y")],data=meuse.grid)
I have nothing like meuse.grid, so this does not work. I can use
image(dem), which produces a plot of elevation values. My point is that
meuse.grid and my dem files have very different structures.
I'm not sure where to go to from here.

Tom

List:
I can not seem to work out the syntax for using R/gstat within a GRASS
6.1 session to do universal kriging. I have a DEM (elevation data on a
grid) and point data for temperature; theoretically, the temperatures
should relate to elevation. So, I am trying to spatially interpolate the
temperature data based on the elevations at the grid points. How do I
setup the gstat command in R/gstat (and using spgrass6, of course)? I
have no trouble reading in my elevation data (DEM) from GRASS and I have
no problem doing ordinary kriging of my temperature data using
GRASS/R/gstat.
What do the data look like? Do you have temperature and elevation at the
observation points and elevation over the grid? If temperature is the
variable for which you want to interpolate, then the formula argument in
the gstat() function would be temp ~ elev, data=pointsdata (if a
SpatialPointsDataFrame no need for location= ~ x + y). Then the predict()
step would need a SpatialGridDataFrame object as newdata, with elev as
(one of) the columns in the data slot.
An example for the Meuse bank data in Burrough and McDonnell:
cvgm <- variogram(Zn ~ Fldf, data=BMcD, width=100, cutoff=1000)
uefitted <- fit.variogram(cvgm, vgm(psill=1, model="Exp", range=100,
nugget=1))
UK_fit <- gstat(id="UK_fit", formula = Zn ~ Fldf, data = BMcD,
model=uefitted)
z <- predict(UK_fit, newdata=BMcD_SPx)
where BMcD_SPx is a SpatialPixelsDataFrame (the grid has ragged edges)
with flood frequencies in Fldf (actually a factor, but works neatly).
Hope this helps,
Roger

Tom
