w {rNeighborGWAS}

Calculating a distance decay weight

Description

A function to calculate, with a negative exponential or Gaussian dispersal kernel.

Usage

w(s, a, kernel = c("exp", "gaussian"))

Arguments

s

A numeric scalar indicating spatial distance at which the distance decay is referred

a

A numeric scalar indicating a decay coefficient

kernel

An option to select a negative exponential "exp" or Gaussian "gaussian" for a dispersal kernel of neighbor effects.

Value

A numeric scalar for a distance decay weight.
