covf = new(covf_mat25pow)
This is the standard Matern covariance function with a power transformation
which has form
$$c(x_1,x_2) = (1+ |h| + h^2/3) \exp(-|h|) $$
where \(h = (x_1^\alpha-x_2^\alpha)/\rho\) and hyp
is a two
dimensional vector with \(\rho\)=exp(2*hyp[0]+0.25*hyp[1])
and \(\alpha\)=exp(0.25*hyp[1])
.
