Calculation of Geometric Mean for Geographic Profiling
Description
A calculation of the geometric mean for serial crime
analysis. This function is among the centrographic methods which have
been used for geographic profiling. The model assumes that the serial
perpetrator's home base is relatively central among the crime incidents.
Usage
geom_mean_pred(lat, lon)
Arguments
lat
a vector of latitudes for the crime incident series
lon
a vector of latitudes for the crime incident series
Value
A latitude and longitude point of the geometric mean of the incidents.
This mean can be used to prioritize the area which contains the offender's
anchor point.
