Arguments

sigma

sigma (standard deviation) of kernel (defaults 2)

n

Examples

par(mfrow=c(2,2)) persp(gaussian.kernel(sigma=1, n=27), theta = 135, phi = 30, col = "grey", ltheta = -120, shade = 0.6, border=NA ) persp(gaussian.kernel(sigma=2, n=27), theta = 135, phi = 30, col = "grey", ltheta = -120, shade = 0.6, border=NA ) persp(gaussian.kernel(sigma=3, n=27), theta = 135, phi = 30, col = "grey", ltheta = -120, shade = 0.6, border=NA ) persp(gaussian.kernel(sigma=4, n=27), theta = 135, phi = 30, col = "grey", ltheta = -120, shade = 0.6, border=NA )
