Thank you,
Why sigma = 10?, what function can I use for choose the best sigma?. And I
looked the info about density.ppp and it says it use the Gaussian Kernel.
But, if we look on wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(statistics) , it says, there are more
kernel function than the Gaussian Kernel, so my question is how do I know
wether I have to use for example a Gaussian kernel or a Tricube Kernel.

Ariel
