stopp: An R Package for Spatio-Temporal Point Pattern Analysis

Methodology 2024-08-28 v1 Computation

Abstract

stopp is a novel R package specifically designed for the analysis of spatio-temporal point patterns which might have occurred in a subset of the Euclidean space or on some specific linear network, such as roads of a city. It represents the first package providing a comprehensive modelling framework for spatio-temporal Poisson point processes. While many specialized models exist in the scientific literature for analyzing complex spatio-temporal point patterns, we address the lack of general software for comparing simpler alternative models and their goodness of fit. The package's main functionalities include modelling and diagnostics, together with exploratory analysis tools and the simulation of point processes. A particular focus is given to local first-order and second-order characteristics. The package aggregates existing methods within one coherent framework, including those we proposed in recent papers, and it aims to welcome many further proposals and extensions from the R community.
