Package: mrtsSphere Type: Package Title: Multi-Resolution Thin-Plate Splines on the Sphere Version: 0.2.0 Authors@R: c( person(given = "Hao-Yun", family = "Huang", role = c("aut", "cre"), email = "hhuscout@gmail.com", comment = c(ORCID = "0009-0004-8384-3261")), person(given = "Hsin-Cheng", family = "Huang", role = "aut", comment = c(ORCID = "0000-0002-5613-349X")), person(given = "Ching-Kang", family = "Ing", role = "aut", comment = c(ORCID = "0000-0003-1362-8246"))) Description: Constructs multi-resolution thin-plate spline (MRTS) basis functions on the sphere and fits the corresponding multi-resolution mixed model (MRMM) by generalised least squares with a tapered Matérn residual covariance, including kriging-style prediction with closed-form standard errors. Implements the system described in Huang, Huang, and Ing (2025) "Multi-Resolution Spatial Methods on the Sphere: Efficient Prediction for Global Data", Environmetrics, . Heavy basis computations are written in 'C++' via 'Rcpp' with optional 'OpenMP' parallelism.
