Pseudoscore Diagnostic For Fitted Model against Saturation Alternative
Given a point process model fitted to a point pattern dataset, this function computes the pseudoscore diagnostic of goodness-of-fit for the model, against moderately clustered or moderately inhibited alternatives of saturation type.

This function computes the pseudoscore test statistic which can be used as a diagnostic for goodness-of-fit of a fitted point process model.
Consider a point process model fitted to x, with
conditional intensity
lambda(u,x) at location u.
For the purpose of testing goodness-of-fit, we regard the fitted model
as the null hypothesis.
The alternative hypothesis is a family of
hybrid models obtained by combining
the fitted model with the Geyer saturation process
(see Geyer) with saturation parameter 1.
The family of alternatives includes
models that are more regular than the fitted model,
and others that are more clustered than the fitted model.
For any point pattern x, and any r > 0, let S(x,r) be the number of points in x whose nearest neighbour (the nearest other point in x) is closer than r units. Then the pseudoscore for the null model is
V(r) = sum( Delta S(x[i], x, r)) - integral( Delta S(u,x, r) lambda(u,x) du)
where the Delta operator is
Delta S(u,x, r) = S(x union u, r) - S(x setminus u, r)
the difference between the values of S for the point pattern with and without the point u.
According to the Georgii-Nguyen-Zessin formula, V(r) should have mean zero if the model is correct (ignoring the fact that the parameters of the model have been estimated). Hence V(r) can be used as a diagnostic for goodness-of-fit.
The diagnostic V(r) is also called the pseudoresidual of S. On the right hand side of the equation for V(r) given above, the sum over points of x is called the pseudosum and the integral is called the pseudocompensator.
A function value table (object of class "fv"),
essentially a data frame of function values.
Columns in this data frame include dat for the pseudosum,
com for the compensator and res for the
pseudoresidual.
There is a plot method for this class. See
fv.object.
