[R-sig-eco] Any packages that include kernal density

[Novack-Gottshall, Philip M.]

Hi Bruce,

Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but you can do two and three
dimensional KDEs using package kde2d() in package MASS and various
functions in package ks. Nice visualizations (2-D and 3-D) can then be
done using persp3d in package rgl (or perhaps package plotrix).

A nice example of its use can be found in Butler, M. A., Sawyer, S. A.,
& Losos, J. B. (2007). Sexual dimorphism and adaptive radiation in
Anolis lizards. Nature, 447(7141), 202-205.

It's been a while since I've used these functions, so hopefully it's
helpful for you.

Cheers,
Phil
