spatstat (version 1.31-3)
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. Also
supports three-dimensional point patterns, and space-time point
patterns in any number of dimensions. Contains over 1000
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, pixel images and
tessellations. Exploratory methods include K-functions,
nearest neighbour distance and empty space statistics, Fry
plots, pair correlation function, kernel smoothed intensity,
relative risk estimation with cross-validated bandwidth
selection, mark correlation functions, segregation indices,
mark dependence diagnostics etc. Point process models can be
fitted to point pattern data using functions ppm, kppm, slrm
similar to glm. Models may include dependence on covariates,
interpoint interaction, cluster formation 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).
