In andrewGhazi/geryon: simple utility functions

Get local 2D density

Description

Compute a 2D density estimate and return the estimate evaluated at each pair of points

Usage

get_local_density(x, y, group = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x	a vector of x-values
y	a vector of y-values
group	a group
...	arguments to pass to ks::kde for the density estimation

Details

This is useful for computing color-density scatterplots.

Examples

overlapping = data.frame(x = rt(3e3, df = 3), y = rt(3e3, df = 3))
get_local_density(overlapping$x, overlapping$y)
