Computes a diffusion estimate of intensity for a point pattern.
densityHeat(x, sigma, …)
Point pattern (object of class "ppp"
or another class).
Smoothing bandwidth. Usually a single number giving the equivalent standard deviation of the smoother.
Additional arguments depending on the method.
Depends on the class of x
.
The generic function densityHeat
computes an
estimate of point process intensity using a diffusion kernel method.
Further details depend on the class of point pattern x
.
See the help file for the appropriate method.
For two-dimensional point patterns (objects of class "ppp"
),
the diffusion kernel estimator is densityHeat.ppp
.
The usual kernel estimator is density.ppp
,
and the tessellation-based estimator is
adaptive.density
.
