libpysal.weights.Kernel¶

class libpysal.weights.Kernel(data, bandwidth=None, fixed=True, k=2, function='triangular', eps=1.0000001, ids=None, diagonal=False, distance_metric='euclidean', radius=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Spatial weights based on kernel functions.

Parameters:

dataarray

(n,k) or KDTree where KDtree.data is array (n,k) n observations on k characteristics used to measure distances between the n objects

bandwidthfloat

or array-like (optional) the bandwidth \(h_i\) for the kernel.

fixedbinary

If true then \(h_i=h \forall i\). If false then bandwidth is adaptive across observations.

kint

the number of nearest neighbors to use for determining bandwidth. For fixed bandwidth, \(h_i=max(dknn) \forall i\) where \(dknn\) is a vector of k-nearest neighbor distances (the distance to the kth nearest neighbor for each observation). For adaptive bandwidths, \(h_i=dknn_i\)

diagonalbool

If true, set diagonal weights = 1.0, if false (default), diagonals weights are set to value according to kernel function.

function{‘triangular’,’uniform’,’quadratic’,’quartic’,’gaussian’}

kernel function defined as follows with

\[z_{i,j} = d_{i,j}/h_i\]

triangular

\[K(z) = (1 - |z|) \ if |z| \le 1\]

uniform

\[K(z) = 1/2 \ if |z| \le 1\]

quadratic

\[K(z) = (3/4)(1-z^2) \ if |z| \le 1\]

quartic

\[K(z) = (15/16)(1-z^2)^2 \ if |z| \le 1\]

gaussian

\[K(z) = (2\pi)^{(-1/2)} exp(-z^2 / 2)\]

epsfloat

adjustment to ensure knn distance range is closed on the knnth observations
