Performs a Balanced Independent Two-Stage Monte Carlo test of goodness-of-fit for spatial pattern.
bits.test(X, …,
exponent = 2, nsim=19,
alternative=c("two.sided", "less", "greater"),
leaveout=1, interpolate = FALSE,
savefuns=FALSE, savepatterns=FALSE,
verbose = TRUE)Either a point pattern dataset (object of class "ppp",
"lpp" or "pp3") or a fitted point process model
(object of class "ppm", "kppm", "lppm"
or "slrm").
Exponent used in the test statistic. Use exponent=2
for the Diggle-Cressie-Loosmore-Ford test, and exponent=Inf
for the Maximum Absolute Deviation test.
Number of replicates in each stage of the test.
A total of nsim * (nsim + 1) simulated point patterns will be
generated, and the \(p\)-value will be a multiple of 1/(nsim+1).
Character string specifying the alternative hypothesis.
The default (alternative="two.sided") is that the
true value of the summary function is not equal to the theoretical
value postulated under the null hypothesis.
If alternative="less" the alternative hypothesis is that the
true value of the summary function is lower than the theoretical value.
Optional integer 0, 1 or 2 indicating how to calculate the deviation between the observed summary function and the nominal reference value, when the reference value must be estimated by simulation. See Details.
Logical value indicating whether to interpolate the distribution of the test statistic by kernel smoothing, as described in Dao and Genton (2014, Section 5).
Logical flag indicating whether to save the simulated function values (from the first stage).
Logical flag indicating whether to save the simulated point patterns (from the first stage).
Logical value indicating whether to print progress reports.
A hypothesis test (object of class "htest"
which can be printed to show the outcome of the test.
Performs the Balanced Independent Two-Stage Monte Carlo test proposed by Baddeley et al (2017), an improvement of the Dao-Genton (2014) test.
If X is a point pattern, the null hypothesis is CSR.
If X is a fitted model, the null hypothesis is that model.
The argument use.theory passed to envelope
determines whether to compare the summary function for the data
to its theoretical value for CSR (use.theory=TRUE)
or to the sample mean of simulations from CSR
(use.theory=FALSE).
The argument leaveout specifies how to calculate the
discrepancy between the summary function for the data and the
nominal reference value, when the reference value must be estimated
by simulation. The values leaveout=0 and
leaveout=1 are both algebraically equivalent (Baddeley et al, 2014,
Appendix) to computing the difference observed - reference
where the reference is the mean of simulated values.
The value leaveout=2 gives the leave-two-out discrepancy
proposed by Dao and Genton (2014).
