triCube: Tricube weight function

In EGRET: Exploration and Graphics for RivEr Trends

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)

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

Details

See Cleveland, W. S. (1979). Robust locally weighted regression and smoothing scatterplots, JASA, 74, 829-836

Value

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

Examples

 h<-10
 d<-c(-11,-10,-5,-1,-0.01,0,5,9.9,10,20)
 triCube(d,h)
