Cvb: Cvb function

Description

This function is used in thetaEst to estimate the temporal correlation parameter, theta.

Usage

Cvb(xyt, spatial.intensity, N = 100, spatial.covmodel, covpars)

Arguments

xyt

object of class stppp

spatial.intensity

bivariate density estimate of lambda, an object of class im (produced from density.ppp for example)

N

number of integration points

spatial.covmodel

spatial covariance model

covpars

additional covariance parameters

Value

a function, see below. Computes Monte carlo estimate of function C(v;beta) in Brix and Diggle 2001 pp 829 (... note later corrigendum to paper (2003) corrects the expression given in this paper)
