Kest.fft {spatstat.explore} | R Documentation |
K-function using FFT
Description
Estimates the reduced second moment function K(r)
from a point pattern in a window of arbitrary shape,
using the Fast Fourier Transform.
Usage
Kest.fft(X, sigma, r=NULL, ..., breaks=NULL)
Arguments
X |
The observed point pattern,
from which an estimate of |
sigma |
Standard deviation of the isotropic Gaussian smoothing kernel. |
r |
Optional. Vector of values for the argument |
... |
Arguments passed to |
breaks |
This argument is for internal use only. |
Details
This is an alternative to the function Kest
for estimating the K
function. It may be useful for
very large patterns of points.
Whereas Kest
computes the distance between
each pair of points analytically, this function discretises the
point pattern onto a rectangular pixel raster and applies
Fast Fourier Transform techniques to estimate K(t)
.
The hard work is done by the function Kmeasure
.
The result is an approximation whose accuracy depends on the
resolution of the pixel raster. The resolution is controlled
by the arguments ...
, or by setting the parameter npixel
in
spatstat.options
.
Value
An object of class "fv"
(see fv.object
).
Essentially a data frame containing columns
r |
the vector of values of the argument |
border |
the estimates of |
theo |
the theoretical value |
