density.splitppp: Kernel Smoothed Intensity of Split Point Pattern

Description

Compute a kernel smoothed intensity function for each of the components of a split point pattern, or each of the point patterns in a list.

Usage

# S3 method for splitppp
density(x, …, se=FALSE)

# S3 method for ppplist density(x, …, se=FALSE)

Arguments

x

Split point pattern (object of class "splitppp" created by split.ppp) to be smoothed. Alternatively a list of point patterns, of class "ppplist".

…

Arguments passed to density.ppp to control the smoothing, pixel resolution, edge correction etc.

se

Logical value indicating whether to compute standard errors as well.

Value

A list of pixel images (objects of class "im") which can be plotted or printed; or a list of numeric vectors giving the values at specified points.

If se=TRUE, the result is a list with two elements named estimate and SE, each of the format described above.

Details

This is a method for the generic function density.

The argument x should be a list of point patterns, and should belong to one of the classes "ppplist" or "splitppp".

Typically x is obtained by applying the function split.ppp to a point pattern y by calling split(y). This splits the points of y into several sub-patterns.

A kernel estimate of the intensity function of each of the point patterns is computed using density.ppp.

The return value is usually a list, each of whose entries is a pixel image (object of class "im"). The return value also belongs to the class "solist" and can be plotted or printed.

If the argument at="points" is given, the result is a list of numeric vectors giving the intensity values at the data points.

If se=TRUE, the result is a list with two elements named estimate and SE, each of the format described above.
