Description

Centered L-function

Usage

center_l_function(x, ...)

Arguments

x

ppp

...

Arguments passed to spatstat.explore::Lest()

Details

Centers Besag's L-function to zero by calculating L(r) -r. Centering the L-function allows an easier interpretation and plotting of the results (Haase 1995).

Returns an 'Function value object' of the spatstat package.

Value
