Calculate Cross-K function for 2 groups of cell phenotypes of interest
calculate_cross_k_function( point_pattern, phenotype_group1, phenotype_group2, names = NULL, plot = 1 )
| point_pattern | ppp object representing image |
|---|---|
| phenotype_group1 | Cell phenotypes to be compared from, can be a single phenotype or multiple |
| phenotype_group2 | Cell phenotypes to be compared to, can be a single phenotype or multiple |
| names | String vector containing the names of the phenotype groups |
| plot | Dictate whether to plot Cross-K function |
calculate_cross_k_function, Calculates Cross-K function between 2 specified cell phenotype groups. The phenotype groups can contain multiple or single phenotypes. Options are given to name the two groups and to plot the function.
Inputs - point_pattern: marked ppp object representing intial image phenotype_group1: String containing the names of the phenotypes to be considered, can be singular or multiple. phenotype_group2: See phenotype_group_1 plot: Indicates whether to plot Cross-K function by checking for numeric value. By default set to plot graph (plot = 1), if no plot required set to NULL names: String vector containing desired names for the two groups of phenotypes, largely for plotting purposes. If not specified groups are named Group1 and Group2.
