title: 'kernelPhil: Kernel Smoothing Tools for Philology and Historical Dialectology'
version: '0.2'
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.kernelPhil
abstract: Contains kernel smoothing tools designed for use by historical dialectologists
  and philologists for exploring spatial and temporal patterns in noisy historical
  language data, such as that obtained from historical texts. The main way in which
  these might differ from other implementations of kernel smoothing is that they assume
  that the function (linguistic variable) being explored has the form of the relative
  frequency of a series of discrete possibilities (linguistic variants). This package
  also offers a way of exploring distributions in 2-dimensional space and in time
  with separate kernels, and tools for identifying appropriate bandwidths for these.
