In GWmodel: Geographically-Weighted Models

GW Discriminant Analysis

Description

This function implements GW discriminant analysis, where location-wise probabilities and their associated entropy are also calculated.

Usage

gwda(formula, data, predict.data,validation = T, COV.gw=T, 
                 mean.gw=T, prior.gw=T, prior=NULL, wqda =F,
                kernel = "bisquare", adaptive = FALSE, bw,
                 p = 2, theta = 0, longlat = F,dMat)
## S3 method for class 'gwda'
print(x, ...)

Arguments

formula	Model formula of a formula object
data	a Spatial*DataFrame for training, i.e. SpatialPointsDataFrame or SpatialPolygonsDataFrame as defined in package sp
predict.data	a Spatial*DataFrame object for prediction, i.e. SpatialPointsDataFrame or SpatialPolygonsDataFrame as defined in package sp; if it is not given, the traing data will be predicted using leave-one-out cross-validation.
validation	If TRUE, the results from the prediction will be validated and the correct proportion will be calculated.
COV.gw	if true, localised variance-covariance matrix is used for GW discriminant analysis; otherwise, global variance-covariance matrix is used
mean.gw	if true, localised mean is used for GW discriminant analysis; otherwise, global mean is used
prior.gw	if true, localised prior probability is used for GW discriminant analysis; otherwise, fixed prior probability is used
prior	a vector of given prior probability
wqda	if TRUE, weighted quadratic discriminant analysis will be applied; otherwise weighted linear discriminant analysis will be applied
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 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)
bw	bandwidth used in the weighting function, possibly calculated by bw.gwpca;fixed (distance) or adaptive bandwidth(number of nearest neighbours)
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
dMat	a pre-specified distance matrix, it can be calculated by the function gw.dist
x	an object of class “gwda”
...	arguments passed through (unused)

Value

An object of class “gwda”. This includes a SpatialPointsDataFrame (may be gridded) or SpatialPolygonsDataFrame object, SDF, (see package “sp”) with, following the use of new version of gwda, the probabilities for each level, the highest probabiliity and the entropy of the probabilities in its “data” slot.
