  Inhomogeneous Multitype K Dot Function
}
\description{
  For a multitype point pattern, 
  estimate the inhomogeneous version of the dot \eqn{K} function,
  which counts the expected number of points of any type
  within a given distance of a point of type \eqn{i},
  adjusted for spatially varying intensity.
}
\usage{
Kdot.inhom(X, i, lambdaI=NULL, lambdadot=NULL, \dots, r=NULL, breaks=NULL,

}
\arguments{
  \item{X}{The observed point pattern, 
    from which an estimate of the inhomogeneous cross type \eqn{K} function
    \eqn{K_{i\bullet}(r)}{Ki.(r)} will be computed.
    It must be a multitype point pattern (a marked point pattern
    whose marks are a factor). See under Details.

  }
  \item{lambdaI}{
    Optional.
    Values of the estimated intensity of the sub-process of
    points of type \code{i}.
    Either a pixel image (object of class \code{"im"}),
    a numeric vector containing the intensity values
    at each of the type \code{i} points in \code{X},
    or a \code{function(x,y)} which
    can be evaluated to give the intensity value at any location.
  }
  \item{lambdadot}{
    Optional.
    Values of the estimated intensity of the entire point process,
    Either a pixel image (object of class \code{"im"}),

  \item{r}{
      Optional. Numeric vector giving the values of the argument \eqn{r}
      at which the cross K function
      \eqn{K_{ij}(r)}{Kij(r)} should be evaluated.

      First-time users are strongly advised not to specify this argument.
      See below for important conditions on \eqn{r}.

    It specifies the edge correction(s) to be applied.
  }
  \item{sigma}{

    used in computing leave-one-out kernel estimates of
    \code{lambdaI}, \code{lambdadot} if they are omitted.
  }
  \item{varcov}{
    Variance-covariance matrix of anisotropic Gaussian kernel,
    used in computing leave-one-out kernel estimates of
    \code{lambdaI}, \code{lambdadot} if they are omitted.

  }
  \item{lambdaIdot}{
    Optional. A matrix containing estimates of the
    product of the intensities \code{lambdaI} and \code{lambdadot}

    the second of any type.
  }
}
\value{
  An object of class \code{"fv"} (see \code{\link{fv.object}}).

  Essentially a data frame containing numeric columns 
  \item{r}{the values of the argument \eqn{r} 
    at which the function \eqn{K_{i\bullet}(r)}{Ki.(r)} has been  estimated
  }
  \item{theo}{the theoretical value of  \eqn{K_{i\bullet}(r)}{Ki.(r)}
    for a marked Poisson process, namely \eqn{\pi r^2}{pi * r^2}
  }
  together with a column or columns named 
  \code{"border"}, \code{"bord.modif"},
  \code{"iso"} and/or \code{"trans"},
  according to the selected edge corrections. These columns contain
  estimates of the function \eqn{K_{i\bullet}(r)}{Ki.(r)}
  obtained by the edge corrections named.
}
\details{
  This is a generalisation of the function \code{\link{Kdot}}
  to include an adjustment for spatially inhomogeneous intensity,
  in a manner similar to the function \code{\link{Kinhom}}.

  Briefly, given a multitype point process, consider the points without
  their types, and suppose this unmarked point process 
  has intensity function
  \eqn{\lambda(u)}{lambda(u)} at spatial locations \eqn{u}.
  Suppose we place a mass of \eqn{1/\lambda(\zeta)}{1/lambda(z)}
  at each point \eqn{\zeta}{z} of the process. Then the expected total
  mass per unit area is 1. The
  inhomogeneous ``dot-type'' \eqn{K} function 
  \eqn{K_{i\bullet}^{\mbox{inhom}}(r)}{K[i.]inhom(r)} equals the expected
  total mass within a radius \eqn{r} of a point of the process
  of type \eqn{i}, discounting this point itself.
  
  If the process of type \eqn{i} points
  were independent of the points of other types,
  then \eqn{K_{i\bullet}^{\mbox{inhom}}(r)}{K[i.]inhom(r)}
  would equal \eqn{\pi r^2}{pi * r^2}.
  Deviations between the empirical \eqn{K_{i\bullet}}{Ki.} curve
  and the theoretical curve \eqn{\pi r^2}{pi * r^2} 
  suggest dependence between the points of types \eqn{i} and \eqn{j} for
  \eqn{j\neq i}{j != i}.

  The argument \code{X} must be a point pattern (object of class
  \code{"ppp"}) or any data that are acceptable to \code{\link{as.ppp}}.
  It must be a marked point pattern, and the mark vector
  \code{X$marks} must be a factor.

  The argument \code{i} will be interpreted as a
  level of the factor \code{X$marks}. (Warning: this means that
  an integer value \code{i=3} will be interpreted as the 3rd smallest level,
  not the number 3).
  If \code{i} is missing, it defaults to the first
  level of the marks factor, \code{i = levels(X$marks)[1]}.
  
  The argument \code{lambdaI} supplies the values
  of the intensity of the sub-process of points of type \code{i}.
  It may be either
  \describe{
    \item{a pixel image}{(object of class \code{"im"}) which
      gives the values of the type \code{i} intensity
      at all locations in the window containing \code{X};
    }
    \item{a numeric vector}{containing the values of the
      type \code{i} intensity evaluated only
      at the data points of type \code{i}. The length of this vector
      must equal the number of type \code{i} points in \code{X}.
    }
    \item{a function}{
      of the form \code{function(x,y)}
      which can be evaluated to give values of the intensity at
      any locations.
    }
    \item{omitted:}{
      if \code{lambdaI} is omitted then it will be estimated
      using a leave-one-out kernel smoother. 
    }
  }
  If \code{lambdaI} is omitted, then it will be estimated using
  a `leave-one-out' kernel smoother, as described in Baddeley, Moller
  and Waagepetersen (2000).  The estimate of \code{lambdaI} for a given
  point is computed by removing the point from the
  point pattern, applying kernel smoothing to the remaining points using
  \code{\link{density.ppp}}, and evaluating the smoothed intensity
  at the point in question. The smoothing kernel bandwidth is controlled
  by the arguments \code{sigma} and \code{varcov}, which are passed to
  \code{\link{density.ppp}} along with any extra arguments.

  Similarly the argument \code{lambdadot} should contain
  estimated values of the intensity of the entire point process.
  It may be either a pixel image, a numeric vector of length equal
  to the number of points in \code{X}, a function, or omitted.

  For advanced use only, the optional argument \code{lambdaIdot}
  is a matrix containing estimated
  values of the products of these two intensities for each pair of
  points, the first point of type \code{i} and the second of any type.
  
  The argument \code{r} is the vector of values for the
  distance \eqn{r} at which \eqn{K_{i\bullet}(r)}{Ki.(r)} should be evaluated. 
  The values of \eqn{r} must be increasing nonnegative numbers
  and the maximum \eqn{r} value must exceed the radius of the
  largest disc contained in the window.

  The argument \code{correction} chooses the edge correction
  as explained e.g. in \code{\link{Kest}}.

  The pair correlation function can also be applied to the
  result of \code{Kcross.inhom}; see \code{\link{pcf}}.

\section{Warnings}{
  The argument \code{i} is interpreted as a
  level of the factor \code{X$marks}. Beware of the usual
  trap with factors: numerical values are not
  interpreted in the same way as character values.
