  are plotted against the covariate specified by covariate.
  This plot can be used to reveal departures from the fitted model,
  in particular, to reveal that the point pattern depends on the covariate.  First the residuals from the fitted model (Baddeley et al, 2004)
  are computed at each quadrature point,
  or alternatively the `exponential energy marks' (Stoyan and Grabarnik,
  1991) are computed at each data point.
  The argument type selects the type of
  residual or weight. See diagnose.ppm for options
  and explanation.
  A lurking variable plot for point processes (Baddeley et al, 2004)
  displays either the cumulative sum of residuals/weights
  (if cumulative = TRUE) or a kernel-weighted average of the
  residuals/weights (if cumulative = FALSE) plotted against
  the covariate. The empirical plot (solid lines) is shown
  together with its expected value assuming the model is true
  (dashed lines) and optionally also the pointwise
  two-standard-deviation limits (dotted lines).
  
  To be more precise, let $Z(u)$ denote the value of the covariate
  at a spatial location $u$. 
  
cumulative=TRUEthen we plot$H(z)$against$z$,
    where$H(z)$is the sum of the residuals 
    over all quadrature points where the covariate takes
    a value less than or equal to$z$, or the sum of the
    exponential energy weights over all data points where the covariate
    takes a value less than or equal to$z$.cumulative=FALSEthen we plot$h(z)$against$z$,
    where$h(z)$is the derivative of$H(z)$,
    computed approximately by spline smoothing.  If the empirical and theoretical curves deviate substantially
  from one another, the interpretation is that the fitted model does
  not correctly account for dependence on the covariate.
  The correct form (of the spatial trend part of the model)
  may be suggested by the shape of the plot.
  
  If plot.sd = TRUE, then superimposed on the lurking variable
  plot are the pointwise
  two-standard-deviation error limits for $H(x)$ calculated for the
  inhomogeneous Poisson process. The default is plot.sd = TRUE
  for Poisson models and plot.sd = FALSE for non-Poisson
  models.
  By default, the two-standard-deviation limits are calculated
  from the exact formula for the asymptotic variance
  of the residuals under the asymptotic normal approximation,
  equation (37) of Baddeley et al (2006).
  However, for compatibility with the original paper
  of Baddeley et al (2005), if oldstyle=TRUE,
  the two-standard-deviation limits are calculated
  using the innovation variance, an over-estimate of the true
  variance of the residuals.
  The argument object must be a fitted point process model
  (object of class "ppm") typically produced by the maximum
  pseudolikelihood fitting algorithm ppm).
  The argument covariate is either a numeric vector, a pixel
  image, or an R language expression.
  If it is a numeric vector, it is assumed to contain
  the values of the covariate for each of the quadrature points
  in the fitted model. The quadrature points can be extracted by
  quad.ppm(object).
  If covariate is a pixel image, it is assumed to contain the
  values of the covariate at each location in the window. The values of
  this image at the quadrature points will be extracted.
  Alternatively, if covariate
  is an expression, it will be evaluated in the same environment
  as the model formula used in fitting the model object. It must
  yield a vector of the same length as the number of quadrature points.
  The expression may contain the terms x and y representing the
  cartesian coordinates, and may also contain other variables that were
  available when the model was fitted. Certain variable names are
  reserved words; see ppm.
  Note that lurking variable plots for the $x$ and $y$ coordinates
  are also generated by diagnose.ppm, amongst other
  types of diagnostic plots. This function is more general in that it
  enables the user to plot the residuals against any chosen covariate
  that may have been present.
