logLik.ppm: Log Likelihood and AIC for Point Process Model

Description

Extracts the log likelihood, deviance, and AIC of a fitted Poisson point process model, or analogous quantities based on the pseudolikelihood or logistic likelihood for a fitted Gibbs point process model.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'ppm':
logLik(object, ..., new.coef=NULL, warn=TRUE)
## S3 method for class 'ppm':
AIC(object, \dots, k=2, takeuchi=TRUE)
## S3 method for class 'ppm':
extractAIC(fit, scale=0, k=2, \dots, takeuchi=TRUE)
## S3 method for class 'ppm':
nobs(object, ...)

Arguments

object,fit
Fitted point process model. An object of class "ppm".
...
Ignored.
warn
If TRUE, a warning is given when the pseudolikelihood or logistic likelihood is returned instead of the likelihood.
scale
Ignored.
k
Numeric value specifying the weight of the equivalent degrees of freedom in the AIC. See Details.
new.coef
New values for the canonical parameters of the model. A numeric vector of the same length as coef(object).
takeuchi
Logical value specifying whether to use the Takeuchi penalty (takeuchi=TRUE) or the number of fitted parameters (takeuchi=FALSE) in calculating AIC.

Value

  • logLik returns a numerical value, belonging to the class "logLik", with an attribute "df" giving the degrees of freedom. AIC returns a numerical value.

    extractAIC returns a numeric vector of length 2 containing the degrees of freedom and the AIC value.

    nobs returns an integer value.

Details

These functions are methods for the generic commands logLik, extractAIC and nobs for the class "ppm".

An object of class "ppm" represents a fitted Poisson or Gibbs point process model. It is obtained from the model-fitting function ppm. The method logLik.ppm computes the maximised value of the log likelihood for the fitted model object (as approximated by quadrature using the Berman-Turner approximation) is extracted. If object is not a Poisson process, the maximised log pseudolikelihood is returned, with a warning (if warn=TRUE).

The Akaike Information Criterion AIC for a fitted model is defined as $$AIC = -2 \log(L) + k \times \mbox{penalty}$$ where $L$ is the maximised likelihood of the fitted model, and $\mbox{edf}$ is the effective degrees of freedom of the model. The method extractAIC.ppm returns the analogous quantity $AIC*$ in which $L$ is replaced by $L*$, the quadrature approximation to the likelihood (if fit is a Poisson model) or the pseudolikelihood or logistic likelihood (if fit is a Gibbs model).

The $\mbox{penalty}$ term is calculated as follows. If takeuchi=FALSE then $\mbox{penalty}$ is the number of fitted parameters. If takeuchi=TRUE then $\mbox{penalty} = \mbox{trace}(J H^{-1})$ where $J$ and $H$ are the estimated variance and hessian, respectively, of the composite score. These two choices are equivalent for a Poisson process. The method nobs.ppm returns the number of points in the original data point pattern to which the model was fitted. The Rfunction step uses these methods.
