##### Inhomogeneous Linear Pair Correlation Function

Computes an estimate of the inhomogeneous linear pair correlation function for a point pattern on a linear network.

Keywords
spatial, nonparametric
##### Usage
linearpcfinhom(X, lambda=NULL, r=NULL, ..., correction="Ang", normalise=TRUE)
##### Arguments
X
Point pattern on linear network (object of class "lpp").
lambda
Intensity values for the point pattern. Either a numeric vector, a function, a pixel image (object of class "im") or a fitted point process model (object of class "ppm" or "lppm").
r
Optional. Numeric vector of values of the function argument $r$. There is a sensible default.
...
Arguments passed to density.default to control the smoothing.
correction
Geometry correction. Either "none" or "Ang". See Details.
normalise
Logical. If TRUE (the default), the denominator of the estimator is data-dependent (equal to the sum of the reciprocal intensities at the data points), which reduces the sampling variability. If FALSE, the denominato
##### Details

This command computes the inhomogeneous version of the linear pair correlation function from point pattern data on a linear network.

If lambda = NULL the result is equivalent to the homogeneous pair correlation function linearpcf. If lambda is given, then it is expected to provide estimated values of the intensity of the point process at each point of X. The argument lambda may be a numeric vector (of length equal to the number of points in X), or a function(x,y) that will be evaluated at the points of X to yield numeric values, or a pixel image (object of class "im") or a fitted point process model (object of class "ppm" or "lppm").

If lambda is a fitted point process model, the default behaviour is to update the model by re-fitting it to the data, before computing the fitted intensity. This can be disabled by setting update=FALSE. If correction="none", the calculations do not include any correction for the geometry of the linear network. If correction="Ang", the pair counts are weighted using Ang's correction (Ang, 2010).

##### Value

• Function value table (object of class "fv").
