In spatstat.model: Parametric Statistical Modelling and Inference for the 'spatstat' Family

Plot the Palm Intensity Diagnostic

Description

Plot the Palm intensity diagnostic for a fitted cluster process or Cox process model.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'palmdiag'
plot(x, ...,
          style = c("intervals", "dots", "bands"),
          args.dots = list(pch = 16), args.intervals = list(),
          xlim=NULL, main)

Arguments

x	Object of class "palmdiag" produced by palmdiagnose.
...	Additional arguments passed to plot.fv when the fitted curve is plotted.
style	Character string specifying the style of plot for the nonparametric estimates. See Details.
args.dots	Arguments passed to points when style="dots".
args.intervals	Arguments passed to segments when style="intervals".
xlim	Optional range of distances plotted along the horizontal axis. A numeric vector of length 2.
main	Optional main title for plot.

Details

This function plots the diagnostic proposed by Tanaka, Ogata and Stoyan (2008, Section 2.3) for assessing goodness-of-fit of a Neyman-Scott cluster process model to a point pattern dataset. The diagnostic is computed by the function palmdiagnose.

First the Palm intensity of the fitted model is plotted as a function of interpoint distance r using plot.fv. Then the nonparametric estimates of the Palm intensity are plotted on the same graph as follows:

• if style="dots", the nonparametric estimate for each band of distances is plotted as a dot, with horizontal coordinate at the middle of the band. This is the style proposed by Tanaka et al (2008).

• if style="intervals" (the default), each nonparametric estimate is plotted as a dot, and a 95% confidence interval is plotted as a vertical line segment, centred on the dot. The confidence interval is based on the Poisson approximation.

• if style="bands", the nonparametric estimates are drawn as a continuous curve which is flat on each band of distances. The 95% confidence intervals are drawn as grey shading.

Value

Null.
