This function selects an appropriate bandwidth sigma
for the kernel estimator of point process intensity
computed by density.ppp
.
The bandwidth σ is chosen to maximise the point process likelihood cross-validation criterion
LCV(σ) = sum[i] log(λ[-i](x[i])) - integral[W] λ(u) du
where the sum is taken over all the data points x[i], where λ[-i](x_i) is the leave-one-out kernel-smoothing estimate of the intensity at x[i] with smoothing bandwidth σ, and λ(u) is the kernel-smoothing estimate of the intensity at a spatial location u with smoothing bandwidth σ. See Loader(1999, Section 5.3).
The value of LCV(σ) is computed
directly, using density.ppp
,
for ns
different values of σ
between srange[1]
and srange[2]
.
The result is a numerical value giving the selected bandwidth.
The result also belongs to the class "bw.optim"
which can be plotted to show the (rescaled) mean-square error
as a function of sigma
.
If shortcut=TRUE
, the computation is accelerated by
omitting the integral term in the equation above. This is valid
because the integral is approximately constant.
A numerical value giving the selected bandwidth.
The result also belongs to the class "bw.optim"
which can be plotted.
