these functions compute two nonparametric measures of association
between X and Y, introduced by Foxall
(Foxall and Baddeley, 2002).
Let the random variable $R$ be the distance from a typical point
of X to the object Y.
Foxall's $G$-function is the cumulative distribution function
of $R$:
$$G(r) = P(R \le r)$$
Let the random variable $S$ be the distance from a fixed point
in space to the object Y. The cumulative distribution function
of $S$ is the (unconditional) spherical contact distribution
function
$$H(r) = P(S \le r)$$
which is computed by Hest.Foxall's $J$-function is the ratio $$J(r) = \frac{1-G(r)}{1-H(r)}$$ For further interpretation, see Foxall and Baddeley (2002).
