##### Adaptive Estimate of Intensity of Point Pattern

Computes an adaptive estimate of the intensity function of a point pattern.

Keywords
methods, smooth, spatial
##### Usage
adaptive.density(X, …, method=c("voronoi","kernel"))
##### Arguments
X

Point pattern (object of class "ppp" or "lpp").

method

Character string specifying the estimation method

Additional arguments passed to densityVoronoi or densityAdaptiveKernel.

##### Details

This function is an alternative to density.ppp. It computes an estimate of the intensity function of a point pattern dataset. The result is a pixel image giving the estimated intensity.

If method="voronoi" the data are passed to the function densityVoronoi which estimates the intensity using the Voronoi-Dirichlet tessellation.

If method="kernel" the data are passed to the function densityAdaptiveKernel which estimates the intensity using a variable-bandwidth kernel estimator.

##### Value

A pixel image (object of class "im") whose values are estimates of the intensity of X.
