The inhomogeneous K function is a generalization of the usual K function defined for a second-order intensity-reweighted stationary point process, proposed by Baddeley et\ al (2000).
When the true intensity function is unknown, and is to be estimated
from the same data as been used to estimate the K function,
a modified kernel density estimation implemented in lambdahat
with argument gpts=NULL
can be used to calculate the estimated intensity at data points.
See Baddeley et al (2000) for details,
and Diggle, P.J., et al (2006) for a cautious note.
