Mark Connection Function for Multitype Point Pattern on Linear Network

Description

For a multitype point pattern on a linear network, estimate the mark connection function from points of type i to points of type j.

Usage

linearmarkequal(X, r=NULL, ...)

Arguments

X

The observed point pattern, from which an estimate of the mark connection function p_{ij}(r) will be computed. An object of class "lpp" which must be a multitype point pattern (a marked point pattern whose marks are a factor).

r

numeric vector. The values of the argument r at which the function p_{ij}(r) should be evaluated. There is a sensible default. First-time users are strongly advised not to specify this argument. See below for important conditions on r.

...

Arguments passed to linearpcfcross and linearpcf.

Details

This is the mark equality function for a point pattern on a linear network (object of class "lpp").

The argument r is the vector of values for the distance r at which p_{ij}(r) should be evaluated. The values of r must be increasing nonnegative numbers and the maximum r value must not exceed the radius of the largest disc contained in the window.

Value

An object of class "fv" (see fv.object).
