What do btbpy and btb do ?

The kernelSmoothing() function allows you to square and smooth geolocated data. It calculates a classical kernel smoothing (conservative) or a geographically weighted median. There are only two major call modes of the function. The smoothing with quantiles method is not available on the btbpy package. The first call mode is kernelSmoothing(obs, epsg, cellsize, bandwith) for a classical kernel smoothing and automatic grid. The second call mode is kernelSmoothing(obs, epsg, cellsize, bandwith, centroids) for a classical kernel smoothing and user grid.
