gwr.bisquare: GWR bisquare weights function

Description

The function returns a vector of weights using the bisquare scheme:

$$w_{ij}(g) = (1 - (d_{ij}^2/d^2))^2 $$ if \(d_{ij} <= d\) else \(w_{ij}(g) = 0\), where \(d_{ij}\) are the distances between the observations and \(d\) is the distance at which weights are set to zero.

Usage

gwr.bisquare(dist2, d)

Value

matrix of weights.

Arguments

dist2

vector of squared distances between observations

d

distance at which weights are set to zero
