[R-sig-Geo] quadracount on multitype points

[Ege Rubak]

Hi Guy,

Maybe your explorative analysis could also benefit from `relrisk` in 
case you don't know that function?

It basically gives you a list of smooth images (one for each type) of 
the probability that a hypothetical sample at that location is of a 
given type. E.g. for the built-in multitype point pattern dataset 
`lansing` you would do:

     library(spatstat)
     prob <- relrisk(lansing, diggle=TRUE)
     plot(prob)

This example and more (e.g. a division of the sampling area into subsets 
of dominant types) can be found in Chapter 14 of our "spatstat book" if 
you need more details (sorry about the shameless self promotion, but I 
don't know a better source for this :-)).

Kind regards,
Ege

When plotted, there seems to be a spatial trend in water type. But a given area may have more than one water type,  usually with a dominant type (most frequently occurring). What I am trying to do is identify the dominant type for each sub-region /sub-windows but show the count side by side, for example:
