logrr.test: Global test of clustering using log ratio of spatial densities

Description

logrr.test performs a global test of clustering for comparing cases and controls using the log ratio of spatial densities the method of Kelsall and Diggle (1995).

Usage

logrr.test(x)

Arguments

x

An renv object from the logrr.env function.

Value

A list providing the observed test statistic (islogrr) and the estimated p-value pvalue.
