##### Inhomogeneous Cross Type L Function

For a multitype point pattern, estimate the inhomogeneous version of the cross-type $L$ function.

##### Usage
Lcross.inhom(X, i, j, ...)
##### Arguments
X
The observed point pattern, from which an estimate of the inhomogeneous cross type $L$ function $L_{ij}(r)$ will be computed. It must be a multitype point pattern (a marked point pattern whose marks are a factor). See under Details.
i
The type (mark value) of the points in X from which distances are measured. A character string (or something that will be converted to a character string). Defaults to the first level of marks(X).
j
The type (mark value) of the points in X to which distances are measured. A character string (or something that will be converted to a character string). Defaults to the second level of marks(X).
...
Other arguments passed to Kcross.inhom.
##### Details

This is a generalisation of the function Lcross to include an adjustment for spatially inhomogeneous intensity, in a manner similar to the function Linhom.

All the arguments are passed to Kcross.inhom, which estimates the inhomogeneous multitype K function $K_{ij}(r)$ for the point pattern. The resulting values are then transformed by taking $L(r) = \sqrt{K(r)/\pi}$.

##### Value

• An object of class "fv" (see fv.object).

Essentially a data frame containing numeric columns

• rthe values of the argument $r$ at which the function $L_{ij}(r)$ has been estimated
• theothe theoretical value of $L_{ij}(r)$ for a marked Poisson process, identically equal to r
• together with a column or columns named "border", "bord.modif", "iso" and/or "trans", according to the selected edge corrections. These columns contain estimates of the function $L_{ij}(r)$ obtained by the edge corrections named.

Warnings
{ The arguments i and j are always interpreted as levels of the factor X$marks. They are converted to character strings if they are not already character strings.
