SpatialCumulativeDistributionFunction-class: Class "SpatialCumulativeDistributionFunction"

Description

The spatial cumulative distribution function (SCDF) is estimated by applying Equation 7.13 in de Gruijter et al., (2006) to indicator transformations of the data. See also page 83 of de Gruijter et al., (2006).

Arguments

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("SpatialCumulativeDistributionFunction", ...).
