Computes an estimate of the inhomogeneous linear \(K\) function for a point pattern on a linear network.
linearKinhom(X, lambda=NULL, r=NULL, ..., correction="Ang",
             normalise=TRUE, normpower=1,
	     update=TRUE, leaveoneout=TRUE, ratio=FALSE)Point pattern on linear network (object of class "lpp").
Intensity values for the point pattern. Either a numeric vector,
    a function, a pixel image
    (object of class "im" or "linim") or
    a fitted point process model (object of class "ppm"
    or "lppm").
Optional. Numeric vector of values of the function argument \(r\). There is a sensible default.
Ignored.
Geometry correction.
    Either "none" or "Ang". See Details.
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, raised to normpower), which reduces the sampling variability.
    If FALSE, the denominator is the length of the network.
Integer (usually either 1 or 2). Normalisation power. See Details.
Logical value indicating what to do when lambda is a fitted model
    (class "lppm" or "ppm").
    If update=TRUE (the default),
    the model will first be refitted to the data X
    (using update.lppm or update.ppm)
    before the fitted intensity is computed.
    If update=FALSE, the fitted intensity of the
    model will be computed without re-fitting it to X.
Logical value (passed to fitted.lppm or
    fitted.ppm) specifying whether to use a
    leave-one-out rule when calculating the intensity,
    when lambda is a fitted model.
    Supported only when update=TRUE.
Logical. 
    If TRUE, the numerator and denominator of
    the estimate will also be saved,
    for use in analysing replicated point patterns.
Function value table (object of class "fv").
This command computes the inhomogeneous version of the linear \(K\) function from point pattern data on a linear network.
If lambda = NULL the result is equivalent to the
  homogeneous \(K\) function linearK.
  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).
Each estimate is initially computed as 
  $$
    \widehat K_{\rm inhom}(r) = \frac{1}{\mbox{length}(L)}
    \sum_i \sum_j \frac{1\{d_{ij} \le r\}
      e(x_i,x_j)}{\lambda(x_i)\lambda(x_j)}
  $$
  where L is the linear network,
  \(d_{ij}\) is the distance between points
  \(x_i\) and \(x_j\), and
  \(e(x_i,x_j)\) is a weight.
  If correction="none" then this weight is equal to 1,
  while if  correction="Ang" the weight is
  \(e(x_i,x_j,r) = 1/m(x_i, d_{ij})\)
  where \(m(u,t)\) is the number of locations on the network that lie
  exactly \(t\) units distant from location \(u\) by the shortest
  path.
If normalise=TRUE (the default), then the estimates
  described above
  are multiplied by \(c^{\mbox{normpower}}\) where 
  \(
    c = \mbox{length}(L)/\sum (1/\lambda(x_i)).
  \)
  This rescaling reduces the variability and bias of the estimate
  in small samples and in cases of very strong inhomogeneity.
  The default value of normpower is 1 (for consistency with
  previous versions of spatstat)
  but the most sensible value is 2, which would correspond to rescaling
  the lambda values so that
  \(
    \sum (1/\lambda(x_i)) = \mbox{area}(W).
