triCube: Tricube weight function

Description

Computes the tricube weight function on a vector of distance values (d), based on a half-window width of h, and returns a vector of weights that range from zero to 1.

Usage

triCube(d, h)

Value

w numeric vector of weights, all 0<=w<=1

Arguments

d

numeric vector of distances from the point of estimation to the given sample value

h

numeric value, the half-window width, measured in the same units as d
