  Pseudoscore Diagnostic For Fitted Model against Saturation Alternative
}
\description{
  Given a point process model fitted to a point pattern dataset,
  this function computes the pseudoscore  diagnostic 
  of goodness-of-fit for the model, against moderately
  clustered or moderately inhibited alternatives of saturation type.
}
\usage{
psstG(object, r = NULL, breaks = NULL, \dots,
      model=NULL,
      trend = ~1, interaction = Poisson(), rbord = reach(interaction),
      truecoef = NULL, hi.res = NULL)
}
\arguments{
  \item{object}{
    Object to be analysed.
    Either a fitted point process model (object of class \code{"ppm"})
    or a point pattern (object of class \code{"ppp"})
    or quadrature scheme (object of class \code{"quad"}).
  }
  \item{r}{
    Optional. 
    Vector of values of the argument \eqn{r} at which the
    diagnostic should be computed.
    This argument is usually not specified. There is a sensible default.
  }
  \item{breaks}{
    Optional alternative to \code{r} for advanced use. 
  }
  \item{\dots}{
    Ignored.
  }
  \item{model}{
    Optional. A fitted point process model (object of
    class \code{"ppm"}) to be re-fitted to the data
    using \code{\link{update.ppm}}, if \code{object} is a point pattern.
    Overrides the arguments \code{trend,interaction,rbord,ppmcorrection}.
  }
  \item{trend,interaction,rbord}{
    Optional. Arguments passed to \code{\link{ppm}}
    to fit a point process model to the data,
    if \code{object} is a point pattern.
    See \code{\link{ppm}} for details.
  }
  \item{truecoef}{
    Optional. Numeric vector. If present, this will be treated as 
    if it were the true coefficient vector of the point process model,
    in calculating the diagnostic. Incompatible with \code{hi.res}.
  }
  \item{hi.res}{
    Optional. List of parameters passed to \code{\link{quadscheme}}.
    If this argument is present, the model will be
    re-fitted at high resolution as specified by these parameters.
    The coefficients
    of the resulting fitted model will be taken as the true coefficients.
    Then the diagnostic will be computed for the default
    quadrature scheme, but using the high resolution coefficients.

\details{
  This function
  computes the pseudoscore test statistic
  which can be used as a diagnostic for goodness-of-fit of a fitted
  point process model.
  
  Consider a point process model fitted to \eqn{x}, with
  conditional intensity
  \eqn{\lambda(u,x)}{lambda(u,x)} at location \eqn{u}.
  For the purpose of testing goodness-of-fit, we regard the fitted model
  as the null hypothesis.
  The alternative hypothesis is a family of
  hybrid models obtained by combining 
  the fitted model with the Geyer saturation process
  (see \code{\link{Geyer}}) with saturation parameter 1.
  The family of alternatives includes
  models that are more regular than the fitted model,
  and others that are more clustered than the fitted model.

  For any point pattern \eqn{x}, and any \eqn{r > 0}, let
  \eqn{S(x,r)} be the number of points in \eqn{x} whose nearest
  neighbour (the nearest other point in \eqn{x})
  is closer than \eqn{r} units. Then the pseudoscore for the null model is
  \deqn{
    V(r) = \sum_i \Delta S(x_i, x, r ) - \int_W \Delta S(u,x,r) \lambda(u,x)
    {\rm d} u
  }{
    V(r) = sum( Delta S(x[i], x, r)) - integral( Delta S(u,x, r) lambda(u,x) du)
  }
  where the \eqn{\Delta}{Delta} operator is
  \deqn{
    \Delta S(u,x,r) = S(x\cup\{u\}, r) - S(x\setminus u, r)
  }{
    Delta S(u,x, r) = S(x union u, r) - S(x setminus u, r)
  }
  the difference between the values of \eqn{S} for the
  point pattern with and without the point \eqn{u}.

  According to the Georgii-Nguyen-Zessin formula, \eqn{V(r)} should have
  mean zero if the model is correct (ignoring the fact that the
  parameters of the model have been estimated). Hence \eqn{V(r)} can be
  used as a diagnostic for goodness-of-fit.

  The diagnostic \eqn{V(r)} is also called 
  the \bold{pseudoresidual} of \eqn{S}. On the right
  hand side of the equation for \eqn{V(r)} given above,
  the sum over points of \eqn{x} is called the
  \bold{pseudosum} and the integral is called the \bold{pseudocompensator}.

\value{
  A function value table (object of class \code{"fv"}),
  essentially a data frame of function values.

  Columns in this data frame include \code{dat} for the pseudosum,
  \code{com} for the compensator and \code{res} for the
  pseudoresidual.
  
  There is a plot method for this class. See
  \code{\link{fv.object}}.
