bw.gtwr: Bandwidth selection for GTWR

In GWmodel: Geographically-Weighted Models

Bandwidth selection for GTWR

Description

A function for automatic bandwidth selection to calibrate a GTWR model

Usage

bw.gtwr(formula, data, obs.tv, approach="CV",kernel="bisquare",adaptive=FALSE, 
        p=2, theta=0, longlat=F,lamda=0.05,t.units = "auto",ksi=0, st.dMat,
        verbose=T)

Arguments

formula	Regression model formula of a formula object
data	a Spatial*DataFrame, i.e. SpatialPointsDataFrame or SpatialPolygonsDataFrame as defined in package sp
obs.tv	a vector of time tags for each observation, which could be numeric or of POSIXlt class
approach	specified by CV for cross-validation approach or by AIC corrected (AICc) approach
kernel	function chosen as follows: gaussian: wgt = exp(-.5*(vdist/bw)^2); exponential: wgt = exp(-vdist/bw); bisquare: wgt = (1-(vdist/bw)^2)^2 if vdist < bw, wgt=0 otherwise; tricube: wgt = (1-(vdist/bw)^3)^3 if vdist < bw, wgt=0 otherwise; boxcar: wgt=1 if dist < bw, wgt=0 otherwise
adaptive	if TRUE calculate an adaptive kernel where the bandwidth (bw) corresponds to the number of nearest neighbours (i.e. adaptive distance); default is FALSE, where a fixed kernel is found (bandwidth is a fixed distance)
p	the power of the Minkowski distance, default is 2, i.e. the Euclidean distance
theta	an angle in radians to rotate the coordinate system, default is 0
longlat	if TRUE, great circle distances will be calculated
lamda	an parameter between 0 and 1 for calculating spatio-temporal distance
t.units	character string to define time unit
ksi	an parameter between 0 and PI for calculating spatio-temporal distance, see details in Wu et al. (2014)
st.dMat	a pre-specified spatio-temporal distance matrix
verbose	logical variable to define whether show the selection procedure

Value

Returns the adaptive or fixed distance bandwidth

Note

The function is developed according to the articles by Huang et al. (2010) and Wu et al. (2014).
