Ldot.inhom

Inhomogeneous Multitype L Dot Function


Description

For a multitype point pattern, estimate the inhomogeneous version of the dot L function.

Usage

Ldot.inhom(X, i, ..., correction)

Arguments

X

The observed point pattern, from which an estimate of the inhomogeneous cross type L function Li.(r) will be computed. It must be a multitype point pattern (a marked point pattern whose marks are a factor). See under Details.

i

The type (mark value) of the points in X from which distances are measured. A character string (or something that will be converted to a character string). Defaults to the first level of marks(X).

correction,...

Other arguments passed to Kdot.inhom.

Details

This a generalisation of the function Ldot to include an adjustment for spatially inhomogeneous intensity, in a manner similar to the function Linhom.

All the arguments are passed to Kdot.inhom, which estimates the inhomogeneous multitype K function Ki.(r) for the point pattern. The resulting values are then transformed by taking L(r) = sqrt(K(r)/pi).

Value

An object of class "fv" (see fv.object).

Essentially a data frame containing numeric columns

r

the values of the argument r at which the function Li.(r) has been estimated

theo

the theoretical value of Li.(r) for a marked Poisson process, identical to r.

together with a column or columns named "border", "bord.modif", "iso" and/or "trans", according to the selected edge corrections. These columns contain estimates of the function Li.(r) obtained by the edge corrections named.

Warnings

The argument i is interpreted as a level of the factor X$marks. It is converted to a character string if it is not already a character string. The value i=1 does not refer to the first level of the factor.
