Directional (version 2.4)

Contour plot of spherical data using a von Mises-Fisher kernel density estimate: Contour plot of spherical data using a von Mises-Fisher kernel density estimate

Description

Contour plot of spherical data using a von Mises-Fisher kernel density estimate.

Usage

vmf.kerncontour(u, thumb = "none")

Arguments

u

A two column matrix. The first coolumn is the latitude and the second is the longitude.

thumb

This is either 'none' (defualt), or 'rot' for the rule of thumb suggested by Garcia-Portugues (2013). If it is "none" it is estimated via cross validation, with the fast function "vmfkde.tune_2".

Value

A plot with the data in latitude and longitude along with their kernel density estimate contour lines.

Details

It calcculates the contour plot using a von Mises-Fisher kernel for spherical data only.
