The "closest" neighbours are the "strongest" correlated ones. To achieve
this, a larger (4-fold by default) metric spatio-temporal neighbourhood
with some spatio-temporal anisotropy (stAni or from the variogram model)
is selected. For these neighbours, the spatio-temporal covariance
function is evaluated and the ones with the strongest correlation are
selected. The interpolation is then carried out using these nmax
neighbours.
