Popis: We propose a distance based criterion to choose the optimal bandwidth for a non-parametric kernel estimator of the mark probability of a non-stationary bivariate location process. The selected bandwidth achieves the minimum standardized distance between the observed inter-event distance distribution and its expectation under the estimated model. This selection principle is performed to map the intensity of the incidence ratio of a West-Nile outbreak in the South of France.
