Predict Point Process Model on Linear Network

Given a fitted point process model on a linear network, compute the fitted intensity or conditional intensity of the model.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'lppm':
predict(object, ..., type = "trend", locations = NULL)

Details

This function computes the fitted poin process intensity, fitted conditional intensity, or standard error of the fitted intensity, for a point process model on a linear network. It is a method for the generic predict for the class "lppm".

The argument object should be an object of class "lppm" (produced by lppm) representing a point process model on a linear network.

Predicted values are computed at the locations given by the argument locations. If this argument is missing, then predicted values are computed at a fine grid of points on the linear network.

• Iflocationsis missing orNULL(the default), the return value is a pixel image (object of class"linim"which inherits class"im") corresponding to a discretisation of the linear network, with numeric pixel values giving the predicted values at each location on the linear network.
• Iflocationsis a data frame, the result is a numeric vector of predicted values at the locations specified by the data frame.
• Iflocationsis a binary mask, the result is a pixel image with predicted values computed at the pixels of the mask.
