View source: R/rhrHref.R

Description

Use two dimensional reference bandwidth to select a bandwidth for kernel density estimation.

Usage

1
rhrHref(xy, rescale = "none")

Arguments

xy

Instance of data.frame, SpatialPoints, SpatialPointsDataFrame or RhrMappedData. If xy is is a data.frame, then the first two columns are assumed to be the x and y coordinates of the relocations.

rescale

Scalar character, indicating if and if how data are rescaled. unitvar rescales x and y coordinates to unit variance, xvar rescales x and y coordinate to variance of x and none, the default, uses the raw data.

Details

This implementation is based on Worton (1989). If variances differ greatly, it is advaisable to rescale the data using rescale="unitvar". If the data is suspected to multimodal other bandwidth estimation methods may be more suitable.

Value

list with the calculated bandwidth and the standardization method.
