Re: iexp in many dimensions

Dear Jarrod

First. If you have me in your address book, please ensure my address is
either arthur_at_cargovale.com.au or arthur.gilmour_at_dpi.nsw.gov.au. My old
address @agric.nsw.gov.au will soon become inactive.

re:

I was wondering whether it's possible to use an isotropic exponential
variance structure when there are more than 2 dimensions (many
dimensions in fact)? It does not seem to be possible to pass
multiple coordinates x,y,z.... , but I was wondering whether it's
possible to pass a user defined distance matrix? Something like the
giv function?

Thanks,

You can probably achieve your purpose using the 'MYOWNGDG' procedure.
Look up the !OWN qualifier and the OWN variance model.
You will need to write a program which reads a file ASReml prints which
contains the
variance parameters for the model,
calculates the inverse and derivatives,
writes them to file

and ASReml reads them back in.

There isn't a way of getting a distance matrix in per se.
