stkhat: Space-time K-functions

In splancs: Spatial and Space-Time Point Pattern Analysis

Space-time K-functions

Description

Compute the space-time K-functions

Usage

stkhat(pts, times, poly, tlimits, s, tm)

Arguments

pts	A set of points as defined in Splancs
times	A vector of times, the same length as the number of points in pts
poly	A polygon enclosing the points
tlimits	A vector of length 2 specifying the upper and lower temporal domain.
s	A vector of spatial distances for the analysis.
tm	A vector of times for the analysis

Value

A list with the following components is returned:

s, t	The spatial and temporal scales
ks	The spatial K-function
kt	The temporal K-function
kst	The space-time K-function
