Dear Matej,

This is a well-known problem of the LSCV algorithm. As the help page of kernelUD explains,

Note that the cross-validation criterion cannot be minimized in some cases. According to Seaman and Powell (1998) _"This is a difficult problem that has not been worked out by statistical theoreticians, so no definitive response is available at this time"_ (see Seaman and Powell, 1998 for further details and tricky solutions).

See also http://www.faunalia.com/pipermail/animov/2006-May/000165.html as well as the links therein for a complete discussion on non convergence.
Hope this helps,

Clément Calenge

Dear colleagues,
I try to understand something about calculation of HR in r-project
using ADEHABITAT package. I have read about and tried ot analyse our
data with LSCV method for smoothing parameter. but I received this
message:

Warning message:
In kernelUD(xy, id, h = "LSCV") : The algorithm did not converge
within the specified range of hlim: try to increase it

when I tried this: mydata<- kernelUD(xy, id, h = "LSCV").
could zou help me how to fix and understand this problem?

All the best and many thanks in advance

with kind regards
Matej Lovy
