I have some questions that are more conceptual of the use of k-function,
than a doubt of how to use it. So, I would like to know if any of you could
help:
I want to assess if the fires (mapped as a point) registered during the
year of 2013 had the tendency of occur next to the occurences of a certain
species (mapped as a point, too), and so  infer whether the fire is a
threat or not.
I've been studying the analysis of point processes and thought that I could
use the bivarite K-function, but never saw any use of the bivariate
K-function (or any other second order function) for analysis like this.

So I would like to know if you know any research that already have used a
second order function for  similar cases? Do you think this use of the
bivariate second order function for this propose is conceptually
consistently?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for any english mistakes.
