#' Calculate Local Density at Each Data Point
#'
#' Calculate the local density at each data point as either the number of
#' points in the eps-neighborhood (as used in `dbscan()`) or perform kernel density
#' estimation (KDE) using a uniform kernel. The function uses a kd-tree for fast
#' fixed-radius nearest neighbor search.
#'
#' `dbscan()` estimates the density around a point as the number of points in the
#' eps-neighborhood of the point (including the query point itself).
#' Kernel density estimation (KDE) using a uniform kernel, which is just this point
#' count in the eps-neighborhood divided by \eqn{(2\,eps\,n)}{(2 eps n)}, where
#' \eqn{n} is the number of points in `x`.
#'
#' Points with low local density often indicate noise (see e.g., Wishart (1969)
#' and Hartigan (1975)).
#'
#' @aliases pointdensity density
#' @family Outlier Detection Functions
#'
#' @param x a data matrix.
#' @param eps radius of the eps-neighborhood, i.e., bandwidth of the uniform
#' kernel).
#' @param type `"frequency"` or `"density"`. should the raw count of
#' points inside the eps-neighborhood or the kde be returned.
#' @param search,bucketSize,splitRule,approx algorithmic parameters for
#' [frNN()].
#'
#' @return A vector of the same length as data points (rows) in `x` with
#' the count or density values for each data point.
