knnDE | R Documentation |
Given a point cloud X
(n
points), The function knnDE
computes the k Nearest Neighbors Density Estimator over a grid of points. For each x \in R^d
, the knn Density Estimator is defined by
p_X(x)=\frac{k}{n \; v_d \; r_k^d(x)},
where v_n
is the volume of the Euclidean d
dimensional unit ball and r_k^d(x)
is the Euclidean distance from point x to its k
'th closest neighbor.

The function knnDE
returns a vector of length m
(the number of points in the grid) containing the value of the knn Density Estimator for each point in the grid.
