spatstat (version 1.12-1)
Spatial Point Pattern analysis, model-fitting, simulation, tests
Description
A package for analysing spatial data,
mainly Spatial Point Patterns, including multitype/marked points
and spatial covariates, in any two-dimensional spatial region.
Contains functions for plotting spatial data,
exploratory data analysis, model-fitting, simulation,
spatial sampling, model diagnostics,
and formal inference. Data types include point patterns,
line segment patterns, spatial windows, and
pixel images. Point process models can be
fitted to point pattern data. Cluster type models are fitted
by the method of minimum contrast. Very general Gibbs point
process models can be fitted to point pattern data
using a function ppm similar to lm or glm. Models may
include dependence on covariates, interpoint interaction
and dependence on marks. Fitted models can be simulated automatically.
Also provides facilities for formal inference (such as chi-squared
tests) and model diagnostics (including simulation
envelopes, residuals, residual plots and Q-Q plots).
