Implement centroid and integrated kernel models in `R-INLA` #22

Closed athowes closed 7 months ago

Is it done in Pointless spatial modelling, which has code?

Ideally all models should be implemented with the same inference algorithm to remove that from the comparison.

Make an SPDE grid, distribute x_eff evenly amongst the grid points, fit INLA-SPDE model, then aggregate upwards. Seems like a decent guess as to how this would work. Also can set priors I think (though they might be different to the parameters of Matern I'm using elsewhere).
