Where this comes from

Abstract

spmodel is an <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mi mathvariant="bold-sans-serif">R</mi> </math> package used to fit, summarize, and predict for a variety spatial statistical models applied to point-referenced or areal (lattice) data. Parameters are estimated using various methods, including likelihood-based optimization and weighted least squares based on variograms. Additional modeling features include anisotropy, non-spatial random effects, partition factors, big data approaches, and more. Model-fit statistics are used to summarize, visualize, and compare models. Predictions at unobserved locations are readily obtainable.
