eem: Exponential Energy Marks

In spatstat.core: Core Functionality of the 'spatstat' Family

Exponential Energy Marks

Description

Given a point process model fitted to a point pattern, compute the Stoyan-Grabarnik diagnostic “exponential energy marks” for the data points.

Usage

  eem(fit, ...)

  ## S3 method for class 'ppm'
eem(fit, check=TRUE, ...)

  ## S3 method for class 'slrm'
eem(fit, check=TRUE, ...)

Arguments

fit	The fitted point process model. An object of class "ppm".
check	Logical value indicating whether to check the internal format of fit. If there is any possibility that this object has been restored from a dump file, or has otherwise lost track of the environment where it was originally computed, set check=TRUE.
...	Ignored.

Details

Stoyan and Grabarnik (1991) proposed a diagnostic tool for point process models fitted to spatial point pattern data. Each point x[i] of the data pattern X is given a ‘mark’ or ‘weight’

m[i] = 1/λ(x[i],X)

where λ(x[i],X) is the conditional intensity of the fitted model. If the fitted model is correct, then the sum of these marks for all points in a region B has expected value equal to the area of B.

The argument fit must be a fitted point process model (object of class "ppm" or "slrm"). Such objects are produced by the fitting algorithms ppm) and slrm. This fitted model object contains complete information about the original data pattern and the model that was fitted to it.

The value returned by eem is the vector of weights m_i associated with the points x_i of the original data pattern. The original data pattern (in corresponding order) can be extracted from fit using response.

The function diagnose.ppm produces a set of sensible diagnostic plots based on these weights.

Value

A vector containing the values of the exponential energy mark for each point in the pattern.

Examples

    data(cells)
    fit <- ppm(cells ~x, Strauss(r=0.15))
    ee <- eem(fit)
    sum(ee)/area(Window(cells)) # should be about 1 if model is correct
    Y <- setmarks(cells, ee)
    plot(Y, main="Cells data\n Exponential energy marks")
