This is a generic function for computing the intensity of a spatial dataset
or spatial point process model. There are methods for point patterns
(objects of class "ppp"
) and fitted point process models
(objects of class "ppm"
).
The empirical intensity of a dataset is the average density
(the average amount of ‘stuff’ per unit area or volume).
The empirical intensity of a point pattern is computed by the
method intensity.ppp
.
The theoretical intensity of a stochastic model is the expected density
(expected amount of ‘stuff’ per unit area or volume).
The theoretical intensity of a fitted point process model is computed by the
method intensity.ppm
.
Usually a numeric value or vector.
