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) = 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.
knnDE(X, Grid, k)
X |
an n by d matrix of coordinates of points used in the density estimation process, where n is the number of points and d is the dimension. |
Grid |
an m by d matrix of coordinates, where m is the number of points in the grid. |
k |
number: the smoothing paramter of the k Nearest Neighbors Density Estimator. |
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.
