================================================
Kernel Density Estimate of Species Distributions
================================================
This shows an example of a neighbors-based query (in particular a kernel
density estimate) on geospatial data, using a Ball Tree built upon the
Haversine distance metric -- i.e. distances over points in latitude/longitude.
The dataset is provided by Phillips et. al. (2006).
If available, the example uses
`basemap `_
to plot the coast lines and national boundaries of South America.
This example does not perform any learning over the data
(see :ref:`example_applications_plot_species_distribution_modeling.py` for
an example of classification based on the attributes in this dataset). It
simply shows the kernel density estimate of observed data points in
geospatial coordinates.
The two species are:
- `"Bradypus variegatus"
`_ ,
the Brown-throated Sloth.
- `"Microryzomys minutus"
`_ ,
also known as the Forest Small Rice Rat, a rodent that lives in Peru,
Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.
