The Diggle (1986)/ Cressie (1991)/Loosmore and Ford (2006) test and the
Maximum Absolute Deviation test for a spatial point pattern
are described in dclf.test
.
These tests depend on the choice of an interval of
distance values (the argument rinterval
).
A significance trace (Bowman and Azzalini, 1997;
Baddeley et al, 2014, 2015; Baddeley, Rubak and Turner, 2015)
of the test is a plot of the p
-value
obtained from the test against the length of
the interval rinterval
.
The command dclf.sigtrace
performs
dclf.test
on X
using all possible intervals
of the form [0,R]
, and returns the resulting p
-values
as a function of R
.
Similarly mad.sigtrace
performs
mad.test
using all possible intervals
and returns the p
-values.
More generally, mctest.sigtrace
performs a test based on the
L^p
discrepancy between the curves. The deviation between two
curves is measured by the p
th root of the integral of
the p
th power of the absolute value of the difference
between the two curves. The exponent p
is
given by the argument exponent
. The case exponent=2
is the Cressie-Loosmore-Ford test, while exponent=Inf
is the
MAD test.
If the argument rmin
is given, it specifies the left endpoint
of the interval defining the test statistic: the tests are
performed using intervals [r_{\mbox{\scriptsize min}},R]
where R \ge r_{\mbox{\scriptsize min}}
.
The result of each command
is an object of class "fv"
that can be plotted to
obtain the significance trace. The plot shows the Monte Carlo
p
-value (solid black line),
the critical value 0.05
(dashed red line),
and a pointwise 95% confidence band (grey shading)
for the ‘true’ (Neyman-Pearson) p
-value.
The confidence band is based on the Agresti-Coull (1998)
confidence interval for a binomial proportion (when
interpolate=FALSE
) or the delta method
and normal approximation (when interpolate=TRUE
).
If X
is an envelope object and fun=NULL
then
the code will re-use the simulated functions stored in X
.
An object of class "fv"
that can be plotted to
obtain the significance trace.
