Use Scott's rule of thumb to determine the smoothing bandwidth for the kernel estimation of point process intensity.
bw.scott(X)
A point pattern (object of class "ppp").
"ppp"
A numerical vector of two elements giving the selected bandwidths in the x and y directions.
x
y
This function selects a bandwidth sigma for the kernel estimator of point process intensity computed by density.ppp.
sigma
density.ppp
The bandwidth \(\sigma\) is computed by the rule of thumb of Scott (1992, page 152). It is very fast to compute.
This rule is designed for density estimation, and typically produces a larger bandwidth than bw.diggle. It is useful for estimating gradual trend.
