kernel_weights: Compute kernel weights from distances

In gwrf: Geographically Weighted Random Forests

Compute kernel weights from distances

Description

Compute kernel weights from distances

Usage

kernel_weights(distances, bandwidth, kernel = "bisquare")

Arguments

distances	Numeric vector of distances.
bandwidth	Positive numeric bandwidth.
kernel	Kernel type: "bisquare", "gaussian", or "tricube".

Value

A numeric vector with the same length as distances. Each element is the spatial kernel weight assigned to the corresponding observation, with larger weights generally assigned to observations closer to the focal location.

Examples

distances <- c(0, 1, 2, 3)

kernel_weights(
  distances = distances,
  bandwidth = 3,
  kernel = "bisquare"
)
