My knowledge is not extensive in this area but I am aware that kernel methods can be used to estimate home range size. The function kernel.area in the adehabitat package, for example, produces a spatial area I interpret as being equivalent to estimated home range size using one of two possible smoothing parameters. I would like to use the plug-in method because I am convinced it will serve me best, but the ks package doesn't have a simple option like "kde.area" that produces what I'm looking for. < Some example data would, as always, be welcome. Attached is an example subset of my data. I've only gotten so far as to produce the kde object and explore potential solutions. tmp.Hpi<-Hpi(x=temp[,2:3]) tmp.kde<-kde(x=temp[,2:3], H=tmp.Hpi) Tyler http://old.nabble.com/file/p26533942/temp temp David Winsemius wrote: > > > On Nov 26, 2009, at 12:40 PM, T.D.Rudolph wrote: > >> >> I am trying to estimate home range size using the plug-in method >> with kernel >> density estimation in the kernel smoothing (ks) package.
