Adrian and Rolf.
Adrian's second example will solve my problem I guess.
Because I do not know the original intensity of the pattern. I only have an observed point pattern.

Thanks a lot.

If you know the 'true' intensity then you could compute, for example, the integrated squared error.

In the spatstat package, if 'lamtrue' is the true intensity and 'lamest' the estimated intensity, given as pixel images (class 'im') then you can just do

     ISE <- integral((lamtrue-lamest)^2)



Alternatives include the Kulback-Leibler divergence

     KL <- integral(log(lamest/lamtrue) * lamtrue)

and the total variation distance

     TV <- integral(abs(lamtrue-lamest))/2



However if you have two competing estimates of the intensity of an observed point pattern, you're probably best to use the point process likelihood. Suppose lam1 and lam2 are pixel images giving  two competing estimates of the intensity of the same point pattern X. Then you could do



      lik1 <- sum(log(lam1[X])) - integral(lam1)

      lik2 <- sum(log(lam2[X])) - integral(lam2)



and compare the likelihoods.

Thanks a lot.
I did superimpose the original pattern to pixel images of intensities. With adaptive smothing intensity higher zones are too narrowed.
Also the differences of intensities are getting higher in the study region. The fixed bandwidth choosen with bw.ppl( ) in spatstat give me a better Picture. This is my opinion and also this is in my case . I use this bandwidth as a global bandwidth for adaptive smoothing.

I think that the following fortune (fortunes::fortune(340)) might be

I am cc-ing to the man himself to see if he has further comment.
