spatialAtRisk.fromXYZ: spatialAtRisk.fromXYZ function

Description

Creates a spatialAtRisk object from a list of X, Y, Zm giving respectively the x and y coordinates of the grid and the 'z' values ie so that Zm[i,j] is proportional to the at-risk population at X[i], Y[j].

Usage

## S3 method for class 'fromXYZ':
spatialAtRisk(X, Y, Zm, ...)

Arguments

X

vector of x-coordinates

Y

vector of y-coordinates

Zm

matrix such that Zm[i,j] = f(x[i],y[j]) for some function f
