alltypes: Calculate Statistic for All Types in a Multitype Point Pattern

Description

Given a marked point pattern, this computes the estimates of a selected summary function ($F$,$G$, $J$ or $K$) of the pattern, for all possible combinations of marks. It returns these functions in a list (an object of class "fasp") amenable to plotting by plot.fasp().

Usage

alltypes(pp, fun="K",dataname=NULL,verb=F)

Arguments

pp

The observed point pattern, for which summary function estimates are required. An object of class "ppp". If the pattern is not marked, the resulting ``array'' is $1 \times 1$.

fun

Character string indicating the summary function required. Must be one of the letters "F", "G", "J", "K".

dataname

Character string giving an optional (alternative) name to the point pattern, different from what is given in the call. This name, if supplied, may be used by plot.fasp() in forming the title

verb

Logical value, meaning ``verbose''. If verb is true then terse ``progress reports'' (just the values of the mark indices) are printed out when the calculations for that combination of marks are completed.

Value

• A function array (an object of class "fasp", see fasp.object). This can be plotted using plot.fasp.

  If fun="F", the function array has dimensions $m \times 1$ where $m$ is the number of different marks in the point pattern. The entry at position [i,1] in this array is the result of applying Fest to the points of type i only.

  If fun is "G", "J" or "K", the function array has dimensions $m \times m$. The [i,j] entry of the function array (for $i \neq j$) is the result of applying the function Gcross, Jcross or Kcross to the pair of types (i,j). The diagonal [i,i] entry of the function array is the result of applying the univariate function Gest, Jest or Kest to the points of type i only. Each function entry fns[[i]] retains the format of the output of the relevant estimating routine Fest, Gest, Jest, Kest, Gcross, Jcross, or Kcross.

  The default formulae for plotting these functions are cbind(km,theo) ~ r for F, G, and J, and cbind(border,theo) ~ r for K.

Details

This routine is a convenient way to analyse the dependence between types in a multitype point pattern. Suppose that the points have possible types $1,2,\ldots,m$ and let $X_i$ denote the pattern of points of type $i$ only. If fun="F" then this routine calculates, for each possible type $i$, an estimate of the Empty Space Function $F_i(r)$ of $X_i$. If fun is "G", "J" or "K", the routine calculates, for each pair of types $(i,j)$, an estimate of the cross-type function $G_{ij}(r)$, $J_{ij}(r)$ or $K_{ij}(r)$ respectively describing the dependence between $X_i$ and $X_j$.

The real work is done by the functions Fest, Gest, Kest, Jest, Gcross, Kcross, and Jcross. One of the first four functions (according to fun) is invoked if the two marks under consideration are equal. The latter three are invoked if the marks are distinct. (There is no Fcross; for the empty space function $F(r)$ there is no cross-type version.)
