Given a multitype spatial point pattern X,
the local dot-type K function localKdot
is the local version of the multitype K function
Kdot.
Recall that Kdot(X, from) is a sum of contributions
from all pairs of points in X where
the first point belongs to from.
The local dot-type K
function is defined for each point X[i] that belongs to
type from, and it consists of all the contributions to
the dot-type K function that originate from point X[i]:
K[i,from,to](r) = sqrt( (a/((n-1)* pi)) * sum[j] e[i,j])
where the sum is over all points j != i
that lie within a distance r of the ith point,
a is the area of the observation window, n is the number
of points in X, and e[i,j] is an edge correction
term (as described in Kest).
The value of K[i,from](r)
can also be interpreted as one
of the summands that contributes to the global estimate of the
Kdot function.
By default, the function K[i,from](r)
is computed for a range of r values
for each point i belonging to type from.
The results are stored as a function value
table (object of class "fv") with a column of the table
containing the function estimates for each point of the pattern
X belonging to type from.
Alternatively, if the argument rvalue is given, and it is a
single number, then the function will only be computed for this value
of r, and the results will be returned as a numeric vector,
with one entry of the vector for each point of the pattern X
belonging to type from.
The local dot-type L function localLdot
is computed by applying the transformation
L(r) = sqrt(K(r)/(2*pi)).
If rvalue is given, the result is a numeric vector
of length equal to the number of points in the point pattern
that belong to type from.
r |
the vector of values of the argument r at which the function K has been estimated |
theo |
the theoretical value K(r) = pi * r^2 or L(r)=r for a stationary Poisson process |
together with columns containing the values of the
neighbourhood density function for each point in the pattern.
Column i corresponds to the ith point
of type from.
The last two columns contain the r and theo values.
