Estimates the inhomogeneous empty space function of a non-stationary point pattern.
Finhom(X, lambda = NULL, lmin = NULL, ...,
        sigma = NULL, varcov = NULL,
        r = NULL, breaks = NULL, ratio = FALSE,
        update = TRUE, warn.bias=TRUE, savelambda=FALSE)The observed data point pattern,
    from which an estimate of the inhomogeneous \(F\) function
    will be computed.
    An object of class "ppp"
    or in a format recognised by as.ppp()
Optional.
    Values of the estimated intensity function.
    Either a vector giving the intensity values
    at the points of the pattern X,
    a pixel image (object of class "im") giving the
    intensity values at all locations, a fitted point process model
    (object of class "ppm") or a function(x,y) which
    can be evaluated to give the intensity value at any location.
Optional. The minimum possible value of the intensity over the spatial domain. A positive numerical value.
Optional arguments passed to  density.ppp
    to control the smoothing bandwidth, when lambda is
    estimated by kernel smoothing.
Extra arguments passed to as.mask to control
    the pixel resolution, or passed to density.ppp
    to control the smoothing bandwidth.
vector of values for the argument \(r\) at which the inhomogeneous \(K\) function should be evaluated. Not normally given by the user; there is a sensible default.
This argument is for internal use only.
Logical. 
    If TRUE, the numerator and denominator of
    the estimate will also be saved,
    for use in analysing replicated point patterns.
Logical. If lambda is a fitted model
    (class "ppm" or "kppm")
    and update=TRUE (the default),
    the model will first be refitted to the data X
    (using update.ppm or update.kppm)
    before the fitted intensity is computed.
    If update=FALSE, the fitted intensity of the
    model will be computed without fitting it to X.
Logical value specifying whether to issue a warning when the inhomogeneity correction factor takes extreme values, which can often lead to biased results. This usually occurs when insufficient smoothing is used to estimate the intensity.
Logical value specifying whether to save the values of
    lmin and lambda as attributes of the result.
An object of class "fv", see fv.object,
  which can be plotted directly using plot.fv.
This command computes estimates of the 
  inhomogeneous \(F\)-function (van Lieshout, 2010)
  of a point pattern. It is the counterpart, for inhomogeneous
  spatial point patterns, of the empty space function \(F\) 
  for homogeneous point patterns computed by Fest.
The argument X should be a point pattern
  (object of class "ppp").
The inhomogeneous \(F\) function is computed using the border correction, equation (6) in Van Lieshout (2010).
The argument lambda should supply the
  (estimated) values of the intensity function \(\lambda\)
  of the point process. It may be either
containing the values
      of the intensity function at the points of the pattern X.
(object of class "im")
      assumed to contain the values of the intensity function
      at all locations in the window.
(object of class "ppm" or "kppm")
      whose fitted trend can be used as the fitted intensity.
      (If update=TRUE the model will first be refitted to the
      data X before the trend is computed.)
which can be evaluated to give values of the intensity at any locations.
if lambda is omitted, then it will be estimated using
      a `leave-one-out' kernel smoother.
If lambda is a numeric vector, then its length should
  be equal to the number of points in the pattern X.
  The value lambda[i] is assumed to be the 
  the (estimated) value of the intensity
  \(\lambda(x_i)\) for
  the point \(x_i\) of the pattern \(X\).
  Each value must be a positive number; NA's are not allowed.
If lambda is a pixel image, the domain of the image should
  cover the entire window of the point pattern. If it does not (which
  may occur near the boundary because of discretisation error),
  then the missing pixel values 
  will be obtained by applying a Gaussian blur to lambda using
  blur, then looking up the values of this blurred image
  for the missing locations. 
  (A warning will be issued in this case.)
If lambda is a function, then it will be evaluated in the
  form lambda(x,y) where x and y are vectors
  of coordinates of the points of X. It should return a numeric
  vector with length equal to the number of points in X.
If lambda is omitted, then it will be estimated using
  a `leave-one-out' kernel smoother.  The estimate lambda[i] for the
  point X[i] is computed by removing X[i] from the
  point pattern, applying kernel smoothing to the remaining points using
  density.ppp, and evaluating the smoothed intensity
  at the point X[i]. The smoothing kernel bandwidth is controlled
  by the arguments sigma and varcov, which are passed to
  density.ppp along with any extra arguments.
