Examples

# Hansen accessibility for psychotherapists in South Lower Saxony: 
data(health1)
# Health service locations in South Lower Saxony
data(health5)
# Distance matrix for health service locations and subregions in South Lower Saxony
psycho <- merge (health5, health1[health1$type == "psych",], 
by.x = "location_to", by.y = "location")
# Extracting psychotherapists
psycho <- psycho[sample(nrow(psycho), 10), ]
# Random sample of 10 rows (psychotherapists)
hansen_psych <- hansen(psycho, "region_from", "location_to", attrac = 1, 
"drvtime", lambda = -0.11, dtype = "exp", dist_const = 5)
# Hansen accessibility for psychotherapists with an exponential distance decay function
# with a weighting of lambda = -0.11
