\title{The Spatstat Package}
\description{
  This is a summary of the features of 
  \pkg{spatstat}, a package in \R 
  for the statistical analysis of spatial point patterns.
}
\details{
  \pkg{spatstat} is a package for the statistical analysis
  of spatial data. Its main focus is the analysis of
  spatial patterns of points in two-dimensional space.
  The points may carry auxiliary data (`marks'),
  and the spatial region in which the points were recorded 
  may have arbitrary shape. 

  The package is designed to support a complete statistical analysis
  of spatial data. It supports
  \itemize{
    \item creation, manipulation and plotting of point patterns;
    \item exploratory data analysis;
    \item spatial random sampling;
    \item simulation of point process models;
    \item parametric model-fitting;
    \item non-parametric smoothing and regression;
    \item formal inference (hypothesis tests, confidence intervals);
    \item model diagnostics.
  }
  
  Apart from two-dimensional point patterns and point processes,
  \pkg{spatstat} also supports point patterns in three dimensions, 
  point patterns in multidimensional space-time,
  point patterns on a linear network,
  patterns of line segments in two dimensions, 
  and spatial tessellations and random sets in two dimensions.

  The package can fit several types of point process models
  to a point pattern dataset:
  \itemize{
    \item Poisson point process models
    (by Berman-Turner approximate maximum likelihood
    or by spatial logistic regression)
    \item Gibbs/Markov point process models
    (by Baddeley-Turner approximate maximum pseudolikelihood,
    Coeurjolly-Rubak logistic likelihood, or
    Huang-Ogata approximate maximum likelihood)
    \item Cox/cluster point process models
    (by Waagepetersen's two-step fitting procedure
    and minimum contrast, composite likelihood, or Palm likelihood)
    \item determinantal point process models
    (by Waagepetersen's two-step fitting procedure
    and minimum contrast, composite likelihood, or Palm likelihood)
  }
  The models may include spatial trend,
  dependence on covariates, and complicated interpoint interactions.
  Models are specified by 
  a \code{formula} in the \R  language, and are fitted using
  a function analogous to \code{\link{lm}} and \code{\link{glm}}.
  Fitted models can be printed, plotted, predicted, simulated and so on.

\section{IV. MODEL FITTING (POISSON AND GIBBS MODELS)}{
  
  \bold{Types of models}
  
  Poisson point processes are the simplest models for point patterns.
  A Poisson model assumes that the points are stochastically
  independent. It may allow the points to have a non-uniform spatial
  density. The special case of a Poisson process with a uniform
  spatial density is often called Complete Spatial Randomness.
  
  Poisson point processes are included in the more general class of Gibbs point
  process models. In a Gibbs model, there is \emph{interaction}
  or dependence between points. Many different types of interaction
  can be specified.
  
  For a detailed explanation of how to fit Poisson or
  Gibbs point process models to point pattern data using \pkg{spatstat},
  see Baddeley and Turner (2005b) or Baddeley (2008).
  
  \bold{To fit a Poisson or Gibbs point process model:}

  Model fitting in \pkg{spatstat} is performed mainly by the function
  \code{\link{ppm}}. Its result is an object of class \code{"ppm"}.

  \code{"ppp"}):

  other covariates.

  Code for fitting \emph{determinantal point process models} has

\section{VI. MODEL FITTING (SPATIAL LOGISTIC REGRESSION)}{
  
  \bold{Logistic regression}
  
  Pixel-based spatial logistic regression is an alternative
  technique for analysing spatial point patterns
  that is widely used in Geographical Information Systems.
  It is approximately equivalent to fitting a Poisson point process
  model.
  
  In pixel-based logistic regression, the spatial domain is
  divided into small pixels, the presence or absence of a
  data point in each pixel is recorded, and logistic regression
  is used to model the presence/absence indicators as a function
  of any covariates.
  
  Facilities for performing spatial logistic regression are
  provided in \pkg{spatstat} for comparison purposes.
  
  \bold{Fitting a spatial logistic regression}
  
  Spatial logistic regression is performed by the function
  \code{\link{slrm}}. Its result is an object of class \code{"slrm"}.
  There are many methods for this class, including methods for
  \code{print}, \code{fitted}, \code{predict}, \code{simulate},
  \code{anova}, \code{coef}, \code{logLik}, \code{terms},
  \code{update}, \code{formula} and \code{vcov}. 
  
  For example, if \code{X} is a point pattern (class
  \code{"ppp"}):
  
  \tabular{ll}{
    \emph{command} \tab \emph{model} \cr
    \code{slrm(X ~ 1)} \tab Complete Spatial Randomness \cr

                \tab intensity loglinear in covariate \code{Z}
  }

  \bold{Fitted point process models:}

   If you have fitted a point process model to a point pattern dataset,
   the fitted model can be simulated.

   Cluster process models 
   are fitted by the function \code{\link{kppm}} yielding an
   object of class \code{"kppm"}. To generate one or more simulated
   realisations of this fitted model, use 
   \code{\link{simulate.kppm}}.

   Gibbs point process models 
   are fitted by the function \code{\link{ppm}} yielding an
   object of class \code{"ppm"}. To generate a simulated
   realisation of this fitted model, use \code{\link{rmh}}.
   To generate one or more simulated realisations of the fitted model,
   use \code{\link{simulate.ppm}}.

   \bold{Other random patterns:}

\section{IX. DOCUMENTATION}{
  The online manual entries are quite detailed and should be consulted
  first for information about a particular function.
  
  The book
  Baddeley, Rubak and Turner (2015) is a complete course
  on analysing spatial point patterns, with full details about
  \pkg{spatstat}.

  Older material (which is now out-of-date but is freely available)
  includes Baddeley and Turner (2005a), a brief overview of
  the package in its early development;
  Baddeley and Turner (2005b), a more detailed explanation of
  how to fit point process models to data; and 
  Baddeley (2010), a complete set of notes from a 2-day workshop
  on the use of \pkg{spatstat}.
