A directional counterpart of Ripley's \(K\) function,
in which pairs of points are counted only when the
vector joining the pair happens to
lie in a particular range of angles.
Usage
Ksector(X, begin = 0, end = 360, ...,
units = c("degrees", "radians"),
r = NULL, breaks = NULL, rmax=NULL,
correction = c("border", "isotropic", "Ripley", "translate"),
domain=NULL, ratio = FALSE, verbose=TRUE)
Arguments
Value
An object of class "fv" containing the estimated
function.
Details
This is a directional counterpart of Ripley's \(K\) function
(see Kest) in which, instead of counting all
pairs of points within a specified distance \(r\), we
count only the pairs \((x_i, x_j)\)
for which the vector \(x_j - x_i\)
falls in a particular range of angles.
This can be used to evaluate evidence for anisotropy
in the point pattern X.
