Cross Validated Bandwidth Selection for Pair Correlation Function
Description
Uses composite likelihood or generalized least squares cross-validation to select a smoothing bandwidth for the kernel estimation of pair correlation function.
Usage
bw.pcf(X, rmax=NULL, lambda=NULL, divisor="r",
kernel="epanechnikov", nr=10000, bias.correct=TRUE,
cv.method=c("compLik", "leastSQ"), simple=TRUE, srange=NULL,
..., verbose=FALSE, warn=TRUE)
Arguments
X |
A point pattern (object of class |
rmax |
Numeric. Maximum value of the spatial lag distance |
lambda |
Optional.
Values of the estimated intensity function.
A vector giving the intensity values
at the points of the pattern |
divisor |
Choice of divisor in the estimation formula:
either |
kernel |
Choice of smoothing kernel, passed to |
nr |
Integer. Number of subintervals for discretization of [0, rmax] to use in computing numerical integrals. |
bias.correct |
Logical. Whether to use bias corrected version of the kernel estimate. See Details. |
cv.method |
Choice of cross validation method: either
|
simple |
Logical. Whether to use simple removal of spatial lag distances. See Details. |
srange |
Optional. Numeric vector of length 2 giving the range of bandwidth values that should be searched to find the optimum bandwidth. |
... |
|
verbose |
Logical value indicating whether to print progress reports during the optimization procedure. |
warn |
Logical. If |
Details
This function selects an appropriate bandwidth bw
for the kernel estimator of the pair correlation function
of a point process intensity computed by pcf.ppp
(homogeneous case) or pcfinhom
(inhomogeneous case).
With cv.method="leastSQ"
, the bandwidth
h
is chosen to minimise an unbiased
estimate of the integrated mean-square error criterion
M(h)
defined in equation (4) in Guan (2007a).
The code implements the fast algorithm of Jalilian and Waagepetersen
(2018).
With cv.method="compLik"
, the bandwidth
h
is chosen to maximise a likelihood
cross-validation criterion CV(h)
defined in
equation (6) of Guan (2007b).
M(b) = \frac{\mbox{MSE}(\sigma)}{\lambda^2} - g(0)
The result is a numerical value giving the selected bandwidth.
Value
A single numerical value giving the selected bandwidth.
The result also belongs to the class "bw.optim"
(see bw.optim.object
)
which can be plotted to show the bandwidth selection criterion
as a function of sigma
.
Definition of bandwidth
The bandwidth bw
returned by bw.pcf
is the standard deviation of the smoothing kernel,
following the standard convention in R.
As mentioned in the documentation for
density.default
and pcf.ppp
,
this differs from other definitions of bandwidth that can be
found in the literature. The scale parameter
h
, which is called the bandwidth in some literature,
is defined differently.
For example for the Epanechnikov kernel, h
is the half-width
of the kernel, and bw=h/sqrt(5)
.
