Creates an instance of an Ord-type interaction point process model which can then be fitted to point pattern data.
Ord(pot, name)
An S language function giving the user-supplied interaction potential.
Character string.
An object of class "interact"
describing the interpoint interaction
structure of a point process.
Ord's point process model (Ord, 1977) is a Gibbs point process
of infinite order. Each point
Ord (1977) proposed fitting this model to forestry data
when OrdThresh
.
The present function Ord
implements the case of a
completely general Ord potential pot
.
This is experimental.
