Temporal mark variogram function

Description

Computes an estimator of the temporal mark variogram function.

Usage

gte(xyt,t.region,t.lambda,dt,kt="epanech",ht,correction="none",approach="simplified")

Arguments

xyt	Spatial coordinates and times (x,y,t) of the point pattern.
t.region	Vector containing the minimum and maximum values of the time interval.
t.lambda	Vector of values of the temporal intensity function evaluated at the points t in T. If t.lambda is missing, the estimate of the temporal mark correlation function is computed as for the homogeneous case, i.e. considering n/|T| as an estimate of the temporal intensity under the parameter approach="standardised".
dt	A vector of times v at which gte(v) is computed.
kt	A kernel function for the temporal distances. The default is the "epanech" kernel. It can also be "box" for the uniform kernel, or "biweight".
ht	A bandwidth of the kernel function kt.
correction	A character vector specifying the edge-correction(s) to be applied among "isotropic", "border", "modified.border", "translate", "setcovf" and "none". The default is "none".
approach	A character vector specifying the approach to use for the estimation to be applied among "simplified" or "standardised". If approach is missing, "simplified" is considered by default.

Details

By default, this command calculates an estimate of the temporal mark variogram function \gamma_[te](t) for a spatio-temporal point pattern.

Value

egte	A vector containing the values of \gamma_[te](v) estimated.
dt	Parameter passed in argument. If dt is missing, a vector of temporal distances v at which gte(v) is computed from 0 to until quarter of the maximum distance between the times in the temporal pattern.
kernel	Parameters passed in argument. A vector of names and bandwidth of the spatial kernel.
gtetheo	Value under the Poisson case is calculated considering the side lengths of the bounding box of xyt[,1:2].
