kernel3d: Space-time kernel

In splancs: Spatial and Space-Time Point Pattern Analysis

Space-time kernel

Description

Compute the space-time kernel

Usage

kernel3d(pts, times, xgr, ygr, zgr, hxy, hz)

Arguments

pts	A matrix of event coodinates x,y.
times	A vector of event times, t.
xgr	The values of x at which to compute the kernel function.
ygr	The values of y at which to compute the kernel function.
zgr	The values of time at which to compute the kernel function.
hxy	The quartic kernel width in the x and y direction.
hz	The quartic kernel width in the temporal direction.

Value

A list is returned. Most of the components are just copies of the input parameters, except for the $v parameter. This is a three dimensional array containing the kernel-smoothed values. Its dimension is [length(xgr),length(ygr),length(tgr)].
