Besides the root algorithm (KernelDM), it contains the proposed extensions:
- time dependency (TD)
- variance (V)
- wind dependency (W)
Thanks to Achim Lilienthal, Patrick Neumann and Victor Hernandez for providing Matlab implementations for the extensions V and W.
Run demo
Run the following code to generate the different maps. The mean map, variance map and confidence map are being plotted.
