kerview: A linked-window system for browsing space-time data

Description

A linked-window system for browsing space-time data.

Usage

kerview(pts, times, k3, map=TRUE, addimg=TRUE, ncol=1)

Arguments

pts

A matrix of event x,y coordinates.

times

A vector of event times.

k3

An object returned from kernel3d, the space-time kernel smoothing function

map

If false, don't plot the map display.

addimg

If true, overwrite successive images in the image display, else make a fresh image plot each time.

ncol

Number of columns and rows for multiple images and maps.

Details

This function displays three linked views of the data. In the current graphics window a temporal slice from the kernel smoothing is displayed. Another graphics device is started to display a map of the data that contributed to that time-slice. A third graphics device shows a histogram of the times of the events. Clicking with the mouse in this window with button 1 sets the time for the other displays to the time on the x-axis of the histogram at the clicked point.

In this way the 3-dimensional kernel smoothed function can be browsed, and the corresponding map of the data compared.
