Kfn: Compute K-fn of a Point Pattern

Description

Actually computes \(L = \sqrt{K/\pi}\).

Usage

Kfn(pp, fs, k=100)

Value

A list with components

x

vector of distances

y

vector of L-fn values

k

number of distances returned -- may be less than k if fs is too large

dmin

minimum distance between pair of points

lm

maximum deviation from L(t) = t

Arguments

pp

a list such as a pp object, including components x and y

fs

full scale of the plot

k

number of regularly spaced distances in (0, fs)

Details

relies on the domain D having been set by ppinit or ppregion.
