kpqfun: Multiscale second-order neighbourhood analysis of a multivariate spatial point pattern

Description

(Formerly kijfun) Computes a set of K- and K12-functions for all possible pairs of marks \((p,q)\) in a multivariate spatial point pattern defined in a simple (rectangular or circular) or complex sampling window (see Details).

Usage

kpqfun(p, upto, by)

Value

A list of class "fads" with essentially the following components:

r

a vector of regularly spaced distances (seq(by,upto,by)).

labpq

a vector containing the \((p,q)\) paired levels of p$marks.

gpq

a data frame containing values of the pair density functions \(g(r)\) and \(g12(r)\).

npq

a data frame containing values of the local neighbour density functions \(n(r)\) and \(n12(r)\).

kpq

a data frame containing values of the \(K(r)\) and \(K12(r)\) functions.

lpq

a data frame containing values of the modified \(L(r)\) and \(L12(r)\) functions.

Each component except r is a data frame with the following variables:

obs

a vector of estimated values for the observed point pattern.

theo

a vector of theoretical values expected under the null hypotheses of spatial randomness (see kfun) and population independence (see k12fun).

Arguments

p

a "spp" object defining a multivariate spatial point pattern in a given sampling window (see spp).

upto

maximum radius of the sample circles (see Details).

by

interval length between successive sample circles radii (see Details).

Details

Function kpqfun is simply a wrapper to kfun and k12fun, which computes either K(r) for points of mark \(p\) when \(p=q\) or K12(r) between the marks \(p\) and \(q\) otherwise.
