Hi All, Using `kest` to estimate a ripley's K for a country. The authors of the package suggest isotropic is best when computationally tractable for irregular shapes, but I noticed in Ripley (1988) that this correction is only "unbiased provided E is convex", where E is the boundaries of study. With that said, the picture in Ripley (1988) illustrating this correction is NOT convex (it's a kidney shape). I know this isn't quite an "r-implementation" question, but: anyone know if isotropic correction is unbiased for an odd shape like a country-outline (in this case Sweden)? Or should i use the `border` correction? Thanks! Nick
