suffstat(model, X)
"ppm"
)."ppp"
).coef(model)
.model
is evaluated for the point pattern X
.
This computation is useful for various Monte Carlo methods.
Here model
should be a point process model (object of class
"ppm"
, see ppm.object
), typically obtained
from the model-fitting function ppm
. The argument
X
should be a point pattern (object of class "ppp"
). Every point process model fitted by ppm
has
a probability density of the form
$$f(x) = Z(\theta) \exp(\theta^T S(x))$$
where $x$ denotes a typical realisation (i.e. a point pattern),
$\theta$ is the vector of model coefficients,
$Z(\theta)$ is a normalising constant,
and $S(x)$ is a function of the realisation $x$, called the
``canonical sufficient statistic'' of the model.
For example, the stationary Poisson process has canonical sufficient statistic $S(x)=n(x)$, the number of points in $x$. The stationary Strauss process with interaction range $r$ (and no edge correction) has canonical sufficient statistic $S(x)=(n(x),d(x))$ where $d(x)$ is the number of pairs of points in $x$ which are closer than a distance $r$ to each other.
suffstat(model, X)
returns the value of $S(x)$, where $S$ is
the canonical sufficient statistic associated with model
,
evaluated when $x$ is the given point pattern X
.
The result is a numeric vector, with entries which correspond to the
entries of the coefficient vector coef(model)
.
The sufficient statistic $S$
does not depend on the fitted coefficients
of the model. However it does depend on the irregular parameters
which are fixed in the original call to ppm
, for
example, the interaction range r
of the Strauss process.
The sufficient statistic also depends on the edge correction that
was used to fit the model.
Non-finite values of the sufficient statistic (NA
or
-Inf
) may be returned if the point pattern X
is
not a possible realisation of the model (i.e. if X
has zero
probability of occurring under model
for all values of
the canonical coefficients $\theta$).
