muEst: muEst function...

Description

muEst function

Usage

muEst(xyt, ...)

Arguments

xyt

an stppp object

...

additional arguments to be passed to lowess

Value

• object of class temporalAtRisk giving the smoothed mut using the lowess function

Details

Computes a non-parametric estimate of mu(t). For the purposes of performing prediction, the alternatives are: (1) use a parameteric model as in Diggle P, Rowlingson B, Su T (2005), or (2) a constantInTime model.
