<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for testing. </p>
<p>As Moritz mentioned, the important parameter in spatial kernel
density is the bandwidth.</p>
<p>Here attached is an improved script that uses the spatialEco R
package (instead of density.ppp from spatstat). To run this,
you'll need to install spatialEco in your R environment.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>This package allows to specify both the bandwidth and the target
raster extents and resolution. In this script I take the extents
and resolution from the GRASS region. Bandwidth is specified on
the command line.</p>
<p>So to try this, in your running GRASS session:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Rscript kernel_density.R <GRASS point vector> <weight
column> <bandwidth></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I also attached two images in a test I did, with bandwidths of
10,000 and 20,000.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Hope this helps,</p>
<p>Micha</p>

<p>Hi Micha, <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I successfully run your R script. However to output is weird
and I don't know how to fix it. <br>
</p>
<p>In v.kernel, you can setup the "raduis" parameter to control
what I assume to be the size of the kernel (of the moving
window). I made one test with radius=300 and another with value
3000. The result of the first is more what I would expect in
terms of spatial variability. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>When I try your script, the output raster has a size of 128x128
which did not correspond at all to my computational region, and
thus the resolution is not the same as the one defined in the
computational region. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The other thing is that I'm wondering if it is possible to
control the size of the moving window with the "density"
function in R. I already tried the 'n' parameter but it doesn't
change anything.. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I also tried with real weights (the number of inhabitants) and
a unity weighting (value 1 for all points) to see it there is a
change and there is which proof the weights affect the output :)<br>

<p>Hi Micha, thanks for your repply.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>For my own need, I think your solution is enough and I
would like to try if you agree to send the R script. <br>

all, <br>
<br>
I would like to compute a raster density map ("heat map")
from vector points using v.kernel. The points represent
house addresses. However, I would need to weight the
points with a value stored in the attribute table (number
of inhabitants). I saw on the module manual page that this
functionality is a "known issue". <br>
<br>
I imagined a solution to by-passe the limitation:
duplicate each point as many time as needed (according to
the value stored in the attribute table) and use this new
layer directly in v.kernel. However, I think it will
definitely not be the most efficient way to do the trick.
Do you have an alternative in mind ? <br>
<br>
Of course the best solution would be that someone in the
development community would have the time and the kindness
to implement this function directly in the module (I'm not
skilled in C and thus cannot try myself). <br>

<p>Maybe not the answer you are looking for, but you can
create a weighted kernel density in R. I can send an R
script that is intended to be run from within a GRASS
session. It accepts a point vector and attrib column, and
creates a kernel density raster, weighted by the attribute
values (using the R defaults for bandwidth and Gaussian
kernel)</p>
<p>Requires, of course, that R is installed, with the
packages: spatstat, raster, rgrass7.<br>
