Kmodel.ppm: K Function or Pair Correlation Function of Gibbs Point Process model

Description

Returns the theoretical K function or the pair correlation function of a fitted Gibbs point process model.

Usage

# S3 method for ppm
Kmodel(model, …)

# S3 method for ppm pcfmodel(model, …)

Arguments

model

A fitted Poisson or Gibbs point process model (object of class "ppm") typically obtained from the model-fitting algorithm ppm.

Ignored.

Value

A function in the R language, which takes one argument r.

Details

This function computes an approximation to the K function or the pair correlation function of a Gibbs point process.

The functions Kmodel and pcfmodel are generic. The functions documented here are the methods for the class "ppm".

The approximation is only available for stationary pairwise-interaction models. It uses the second order Poisson-saddlepoint approximation (Baddeley and Nair, 2012b) which is a combination of the Poisson-Boltzmann-Emden and Percus-Yevick approximations.

The return value is a function in the R language, which takes one argument r. Evaluation of this function, on a numeric vector r, yields values of the desired K function or pair correlation function at these distance values.
