bw.CvLHeat

Bandwidth Selection for Diffusion Smoother by Cronie-van Lieshout Rule


Description

Selects an optimal bandwidth for diffusion smoothing using the Cronie-van Lieshout rule.

Usage

bw.CvLHeat(X, ..., srange=NULL, ns=16, sigma=NULL,
         leaveoneout=TRUE, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

X

Point pattern (object of class "ppp").

...

Arguments passed to densityHeat.ppp.

srange

Numeric vector of length 2 specifying a range of bandwidths to be considered.

ns

Integer. Number of candidate bandwidths to be considered.

sigma

Maximum smoothing bandwidth. A numeric value, or a pixel image, or a function(x,y). Alternatively a numeric vector containing a sequence of candidate bandwidths.

leaveoneout

Logical value specifying whether intensity values at data points should be estimated using the leave-one-out rule.

verbose

Logical value specifying whether to print progress reports.

Details

This algorithm selects the optimal global bandwidth for kernel estimation of intensity for the dataset X using diffusion smoothing densityHeat.ppp.

If sigma is a numeric value, the algorithm finds the optimal bandwidth tau <= sigma.

If sigma is a pixel image or function, the algorithm finds the optimal fraction 0 < f <= 1 such that smoothing with f * sigma would be optimal.

Value

A numerical value giving the selected bandwidth (if sigma was a numeric value) or the selected fraction of the maximum bandwidth (if sigma was a pixel image or function). The result also belongs to the class "bw.optim" which can be plotted.
