topic kernel density function in ArcGIS Spatial Analyst Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-spatial-analyst-questions/kernel-density-function/m-p/264334#M3759 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I wanted to get the population density for a certain area. I used the kernel density function with my population field taken into account. My highest population point was 400 people. After the kernel density algorithm finished, I ended up with a raster that had a range of 0-40,000. Each pixel was 20X20m, and the output unit was in kilometer. I'm pretty sure I followed the correct steps, however the dense areas seem very high as far as density goes. I guess I am wondering why that is (or maybe I did something wrong). Should I be using a different procedure completley? Thanks</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 15 Apr 2013 06:51:23 GMT MohammadSalem 2013-04-15T06:51:23Z kernel density function https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-spatial-analyst-questions/kernel-density-function/m-p/264334#M3759 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I wanted to get the population density for a certain area.
