Calculates quadrat counts to estimate the intensity of a spatial point process through the moving window approach proposed by Bailey and Gatrell (1995). Event counts are computed within a window of a set size over a fine lattice of points within the region of observation.

|
xcoord |
a vector containing the x-coordinates of the observed point process |
ycoord |
a vector containing the y-coordinates of the observed point process |
boundaryx |
a vector containing the x-coordinates of the boundary |
boundaryy |
a vector containing the y-coordinates of the boundary |
gridx |
integer for the number of column lattice points |
gridy |
integer for the number of row lattice points |
windowsizel |
integer for the length of the window |
windowsizew |
integer for the width of the window |
The function first constructs a rectangular space based on the maximum and minimum values of the boundary. It then places a lattice over the rectangle, with a number of points in the lattice defined by the user. The "point.in.polygon" function determines whether or not a specific lattice point falls within the region of observation. If so, the function counts the number of events in a window of a specified size centered on that point. If not, the function moves on to the next lattice point. The function returns the location of lattice points within the region of observation in addition to the quadrat count at each point.
xgrid a vector of the x-coordinates of the lattice points within the boundary
ygrid a vector of the y-coordinates of the lattice points within the boundary
quadrat a vector containing the number of events within each window sampled along the lattice
