Pseudoscore Diagnostic For Fitted Model against Area-Interaction Alternative
Given a point process model fitted to a point pattern dataset, this function computes the pseudoscore diagnostic of goodness-of-fit for the model, against moderately clustered or moderately inhibited alternatives of area-interaction type.
Usage
psstA(object, r = NULL, breaks = NULL, ...,
trend = ~1, interaction = Poisson(),
rbord = reach(interaction), ppmcorrection = "border",
correction = "all",
truecoef = NULL, hi.res = NULL,
nr=spatstat.options("psstA.nr"),
ngrid=spatstat.options("psstA.ngrid"))
Arguments

"ppm"
) or a point pattern (object of class"ppp"
) or quadrature scheme (object of class"quad"
). - r
- Optional. Vector of values of the argument $r$ at which the diagnostic should be computed. This argument is usually not specified. There is a sensible default.
- breaks
- Optional alternative to
r
for advanced use. - ...
- Ignored.
- trend,interaction,rbord
- Optional. Arguments passed to
ppm
to fit a point process model to the data, ifobject
is a point pattern. Seeppm
for details. - ppmcorrection
- Optional. Character string specifying the edge correction
for the pseudolikelihood to be used
in fitting the point process model. Passed to
ppm
. - correction
- Optional. Character string specifying which diagnostic quantities
will be computed. Options are
"all"
and"best"
. The default is to compute all diagnostic quantities. - truecoef
- Optional. Numeric vector. If present, this will be treated as
if it were the true coefficient vector of the point process model,
in calculating the diagnostic. Incompatible with
hi.res
. - hi.res
- Optional. List of parameters passed to
quadscheme
. If this argument is present, the model will be re-fitted at high resolution as specified by these parameters. The coefficients of the re - nr
- Optional. Number of
r
values to be used ifr
is not specified. - ngrid
- Integer. Number of points in the square grid used to compute the approximate area.
Details
This function computes the pseudoscore test statistic
which can be used as a diagnostic for goodness-of-fit of a fitted
point process model.
Let $x$ be a point pattern dataset consisting of points
$x_1,\ldots,x_n$ in a window $W$.
Consider a point process model fitted to $x$, with
conditional intensity
$\lambda(u,x)$ at location $u$.
For the purpose of testing goodness-of-fit, we regard the fitted model
as the null hypothesis.
The alternative hypothesis is a family of
hybrid models obtained by combining
the fitted model with the area-interaction process
(see AreaInter
). The family of alternatives includes
models that are slightly more regular than the fitted model,
and others that are slightly more clustered than the fitted model.
The pseudoscore, evaluated at the null model, is $$V(r) = \sum_i A(x_i, x, r) - \int_W A(u,x, r) \lambda(u,x) {\rm d} u$$ where $$A(u,x,r) = B(x\cup{u},r) - B(x\setminus u, r)$$ where $B(x,r)$ is the area of the union of the discs of radius $r$ centred at the points of $x$ (i.e. $B(x,r)$ is the area of the dilation of $x$ by a distance $r$). Thus $A(u,x,r)$ is the unclaimed area associated with $u$, that is, the area of that part of the disc of radius $r$ centred at the point $u$ that is not covered by any of the discs of radius $r$ centred at points of $x$.
According to the Georgii-Nguyen-Zessin formula, $V(r)$ should have mean zero if the model is correct (ignoring the fact that the parameters of the model have been estimated). Hence $V(r)$ can be used as a diagnostic for goodness-of-fit.
The diagnostic $V(r)$ is also called the pseudoresidual of $S$. On the right hand side of the equation for $V(r)$ given above, the sum over points of $x$ is called the pseudosum and the integral is called the pseudocompensator.
Value
- A function value table (object of class
"fv"
), essentially a data frame of function values.Columns in this data frame include
dat
for the pseudosum,com
for the compensator andres
for the pseudoresidual. There is a plot method for this class. Seefv.object
.
Warning
This computation can take a very long time.
To shorten the computation time, choose smaller values of the
arguments nr
and ngrid
, or reduce the values of their
defaults spatstat.options("psstA.nr")
and spatstat.options("psstA.ngrid")
.
Computation time is roughly proportional to
nr * npoints * ngrid^2
where npoints
is the number
of points in the point pattern.
