\title{
  Residual K Function
}
\description{
  Given a point process model fitted to a point pattern dataset,
  this function computes the residual \eqn{K} function,
  which serves as a diagnostic for goodness-of-fit of the model.
}
\usage{
   Kres(object, ...)
}
\arguments{
  \item{object}{
    Object to be analysed.
    Either a fitted point process model (object of class \code{"ppm"}),
    a point pattern (object of class \code{"ppp"}),
    a quadrature scheme (object of class \code{"quad"}),
    or the value returned by a previous call to \code{\link{Kcom}}.
  }
  \item{\dots}{
    Arguments passed to \code{\link{Kcom}}.
  }
}
\details{
  This command provides a diagnostic for the goodness-of-fit of
  a point process model fitted to a point pattern dataset.
  It computes a residual version of the \eqn{K} function of the
  dataset, which should be approximately zero if the model is a good
  fit to the data.

  In normal use, \code{object} is a fitted point process model
  or a point pattern. Then \code{Kres} first calls \code{\link{Kcom}}
  to compute both the nonparametric estimate of the \eqn{K} function
  and its model compensator. Then \code{Kres} computes the
  difference between them, which is the residual \eqn{K}-function.
  
  Alternatively, \code{object} may be a function value table
  (object of class \code{"fv"}) that was returned by
  a previous call to \code{\link{Kcom}}. Then \code{Kres} computes the
  residual from this object. 
}
\value{
  A function value table (object of class \code{"fv"}),
  essentially a data frame of function values.
  There is a plot method for this class. See \code{\link{fv.object}}.
