for contributions.
OVERVIEW
o More support for fitted point process models and pixel images.
o Improved plotting of pixel images and envelopes.
o Simulation algorithm for Lennard-Jones process.
o Improvements and bug fixes to envelopes.
o Bug fixes to Metropolis-Hastings simulation.
NEW FUNCTIONS
o pairs.im
Creates a scatterplot matrix for several pixel images.
o model.frame.ppm
Method for 'model.frame' for point process models.
o sort.im
Method for 'sort' for pixel images.
SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES
o plot.fv, plot.fasp
New argument 'shade' enables confidence intervals
or significance bands to be displayed as filled grey shading.
o LennardJones
The parametrisation of this interaction function has been changed.
o rmh, rmhmodel
These functions will now simulate a point process model
that was fitted using the LennardJones() interaction.
o rmh.default, rmhmodel.default
These functions will now simulate a point process model
with the Lennard-Jones interaction (cif='lennard').
o ecdf
This function now works for pixel images.
o dim, row, col
These functions now work for pixel images.
o order
This function now works for pixel images.
o [.im and [<-.im
The subset index can now be any valid subset index for a matrix.
o density.ppp, smooth.ppp
The return value now has attributes 'sigma' and 'varcov'
reporting the smoothing bandwidth.
o plot.im
The argument 'col' can now be a 'colourmap' object.
This makes it possible to specify a fixed mapping between
numbers and colours (e.g. so that it is consistent between
plots of several different images).
o rmh, spatstat.options
spatstat.options now recognises the parameter 'expand'
which determines the default window expansion factor in rmh.
o rmh
Improved handling of ppm objects with covariates.
o kstest
The 'covariate' can now be one of the characters "x" or "y"
indicating the Cartesian coordinates.
BUG FIXES
o model.matrix.ppm
For a fitted model that used a large number of quadrature points,
model.matrix.ppm sometimes reported an internal error about mismatch
between the model matrix and the quadrature scheme.
Fixed.
o plot.ppx
Minor bugs fixed.
o rmh
In rare cases, the simulated point pattern
included multiple points at the origin (0,0).
(Bug introduced in spatstat 1.17-0.)
Fixed.
o rmh, rmhmodel.ppm
Crashed when applied to a fitted multitype point process model
if the model involved more than one covariate image.
(Spotted by Jorge Mateu)
Fixed.
o density.psp
If any segment had zero length, the result contained NaN values.
(Spotted by Michael Sumner and Sebastian Luque.)
Fixed.
o envelope
Crashed with fun=Lest or fun=Linhom if the number of points in
a simulated pattern exceeded 3000.
Fixed.
o plot.kstest

New argument 'warn' controls warnings.

Simulation of the 'Hardcore' process was incorrect.
The hard core radius was erroneously set to zero
so that the simulated patterns were Poisson.
Fixed.
o fitin:
A plot of the pairwise interaction function of a fitted model,
generated by plot(fitin(model)) where model <- ppm(...),
was sometimes incorrect when the model included a hard core.
Fixed.

to be generated is very large. This traps a common error in
simulation experiments.
BUG FIXES
o predict.ppm, fitted.ppm:
Predictions and fitted values were incorrect for
objects fitted using ppm(..., method="ho").
Fixed.
o logLik, AIC:
Values of logLik() and AIC() were incorrect for
objects fitted using ppm(..., method="ho").
Fixed.

The result of fitin() was incorrect for
objects fitted using ppm(..., method="ho").

It now has arguments 'r', 'breaks' and 'correction',
like other summary functions.

(Spotted by Michael Sumner)

in which some mark values were unrepresented.

o we thank Andrew Bevan and Ege Rubak for suggestions.
NEW FUNCTIONS
o Hardcore: Hard core interaction (for use in ppm)
o envelope.pp3: simulation envelopes for 3D point patterns
o npoints: number of points in a point pattern of any kind
SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES
o rmh.ppm, rmhmodel.ppm:
It is now possible to simulate Gibbs point process models
that are fitted to multitype point patterns using a
non-multitype interaction, e.g.
data(amacrine)
fit <- ppm(amacrine, ~marks, Strauss(0.1))
rmh(fit, ...)
o rmh.ppm, rmhmodel.ppm, rmh.default, rmhmodel.default:
Hard core models can be simulated.
o rmh.default, rmhmodel.default:
The argument 'par' is now required to be a list, in all cases
(previously it was sometimes a list and sometimes a vector).
o Fest:
Calculation has been accelerated in some cases.
o summary.pp3 now returns an object of class 'summary.pp3'
containing useful summary information. It is plotted by
'plot.summary.pp3'.
o F3est, G3est, K3est: these functions now accept
'correction="best"'
o union.owin, intersect.owin:
these functions now handle any number of windows.
o envelope.ppp, envelope.ppm, envelope.kppm:
argument lists have changed slightly
BUG FIXES
o Fest: The result of Fest(X, correction="rs") had a slightly
corrupted format, so that envelope(X, Fest, correction="rs")
in fact computed the envelopes based on the "km" correction.
(Spotted by Ege Rubak).
Fixed.
o rmh (rmh.ppm, rmhmodel.ppm):
rmh sometimes failed for non-stationary point process models,
with a message about "missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed".
(Spotted by Andrew Bevan).
Fixed.
o diagnose.ppm, lurking:
Calculations were not always correct if the model
had conditional intensity equal to zero at some locations.
Fixed.
o ppm, profilepl:
If data points are illegal under the model (i.e. if any
data points have conditional intensity equal to zero)
the log pseudolikelihood should be -Inf but was sometimes
returned as a finite value. Thus profilepl did not always
work correctly for models with a hard core.
Fixed.
o F3est, G3est:
Debug messages were printed unnecessarily.
Fixed.
