Multiplying a raster object
Thanks Loic, That helps a lot, actually. I used the wrong factor for transforming. Still adding the values of my raster don't add up to the points of the original ppp object. So I suppose there are better approaches than multiplying the raster by factor. If someone else wants to chip in on this it'll be great. Thanks again, Tada

Hi community, I have a raster object of a kernel density, where the linear unit is meter, and when I plot it it gives me very small density values (units per sq meter, I suppose). I figure that if I multiply it, say by a 1000, it will give density values in units per sq km.
I don't know much about kernel densities, but if you want to convert units/m^2 to units/km^2 you'd have to multiply by 1 000 000 instead of 1000. Hope that helps explaining the incoherence in your results. It looks good on the legend, but I
wonder: is this a correct thing to do? I wonder this because when I add the values of the raster it does not add up to the number of points in my original ppp object from which I created the density. Thanks, Tada
