NeighborDensities() should be 0 with a 1-row dataset

[maurolepore]

Reproducible example of the issue.

You are correct the function should return a zero value for both con and het.

There should be a line something like this in the code:

# only keep individuals that are with "radius" meters of the focal tree
neighb <- square[dist<=400 & square$tag!=focal.tag,]

I explored and tested neighbor_densities():

• The source code has lots of repetition that can be avoided relatively easy.
• The tests throw results that I don't expect. This is likely because the output corrects for edge effect. I need to rethink the output of tests considering edge effects. for example, even for type = "count", the output is not directly a count but something like: length(nn[consp]) * (pi * r^2 / area)`.

Now the neighgbor features are in the branch neighbour.
