lgcp (version 1.8)

chooseCellwidth: chooseCellwidth function

Description

A function to help choose the cell width (the parameter "cellwidth" in lgcpPredictSpatialPlusPars, for example) prior to setting up the FFT grid, before an MCMC run.

Usage

chooseCellwidth(obj, cwinit)

Arguments

obj

an object of class ppp, stppp, SpatialPolygonsDataFrame, or owin

cwinit

the cell width

Value

produces a plot of the observation window and computational grid.

Details

Ideally this function should be used after having made a preliminary guess at the parameters of the latent field.The idea is to run chooseCellwidth several times, adjusting the parameter "cwinit" so as to balance available computational resources with output grid size.
