hexDensity: Fast Kernel Density Estimation with Hexagonal Grid
Kernel density estimation with hexagonal grid for bivariate data.
Hexagonal grid has many beneficial properties like equidistant neighbours
and less edge bias, making it better for spatial analyses than the more
commonly used rectangular grid.
