A function to perform polygon/polygon overlay operations
and form the computational grid, on which inference will
eventually take place. For details and examples of using
this fucntion, please see the package vignette
"Bayesian_lgcp"
an object of class ppp or
SpatialPolygonsDataFrame, containing the event counts,
i.e. the dataset that will eventually be analysed
regionalcovariates
an object of class
SpatialPolygonsDataFrame containng regionally measured
covariate information
pixelcovariates
X an object of class
SpatialPixelsDataFrame containng regionally measured
covariate information
cellwidth
the chosen cell width
ext
the amount by which to extend the observation
window in forming the FFT grid, default is 2. In the case
that the point pattern has long range spatial
correlation, this may need to be increased.
inclusion
criterion for cells being included into
observation window. Either 'touching' or 'centroid'. The
former, the default, includes all cells that touch the
observation window, the latter includes all cells whose
centroids are inside the observation wi
Value
an object of class lgcppolyol, which can then be fed into
the function getZmat.
