Value

fv.object

Arguments

x

Arguments passed to spatstat.explore::pcf.ppp()

Details

Estimates the O-ring function proposed by Wiegand and Moloney (2004). The O-ring statistic is defined as:

$$O(r) = \lambda * g(r)$$

Generally speaking, O(r) scales the pair correlation g(r) function with help of the intensity \(\lambda\). One advantage of the O-ring statistic is that it can be interpreted as a neighborhood density because it is a probability density function (Wiegand & Moloney 2004, 2014).

Returns an 'Function value object' of the spatstat package.
