Computes the weighted pair correlation function between two populations of objects (A and B) using a continuous label on objects B over a spatial network.

Parameters:
spatial_networknetworkx.Graph

The spatial network on which to compute the pair correlation function. Edges should have a weight attribute corresponding to the distance between nodes.

labels_for_objects_Barray-like

A continuous label for each object in population B. This should be an array of the same length as object_indices_B, where each entry corresponds to the label of the respective object in population B.

object_indices_Aarray-like, optional

The indices of the nodes in population A. If None, all nodes in the network will be considered as part of population A. Default is None.

object_indices_Barray-like, optional

The indices of the nodes in population B. If None, all nodes in the network will be considered as part of population B. Default is None.

spatial_kernel_bandwidthfloat, optional

The bandwidth parameter for the spatial kernel function. This controls the smoothness of the pair correlation function. Default is 10.

spatial_kernel_nint, optional

The exponent parameter for the spatial kernel function. This controls the shape of the kernel. Default is 2 (which corresponds to a Gaussian-like kernel).

r_minfloat, optional

The minimum distance to consider when computing the pair correlation function. Default is 0.

r_maxfloat, optional

The maximum distance to consider when computing the pair correlation function. Default is 100.

r_stepfloat, optional

The step size for the distance bins when computing the pair correlation function. Default is 10.

marker_kernel_bandwidthfloat, optional

The bandwidth parameter for the marker kernel function. This controls the smoothness of the weighting based on the continuous labels of objects B. Default is 0.2.

marker_kernel_nint, optional

The exponent parameter for the marker kernel function. This controls the shape of the kernel for weighting based on the continuous labels of objects B. Default is 1 (which corresponds to a Laplacian-like kernel).

marker_minfloat, optional

The minimum value of the continuous label for objects B to consider when computing the weighted pair correlation function. Default is 0.

marker_maxfloat, optional

The maximum value of the continuous label for objects B to consider when computing the weighted pair correlation function. Default is 1.

edge_weight_namestr, optional

The name of the edge attribute in the network that corresponds to the distance between nodes. Default is ‘Distance’.

return_confidence_intervalbool, optional

Whether to compute and return confidence intervals for the pair correlation function using spatial bootstrapping. Default is False.

low_memorybool, optional

Whether to use a low-memory implementation of Dijkstra’s algorithm that computes distances in batches. This can be useful for large networks that do not fit in memory. Default is False.

verbosebool, optional

Whether to print progress messages during computation. Default is True.

n_jobsint, optional

The number of parallel jobs to run when computing contributions. If n_jobs > 1, the contributions will be computed in parallel across multiple CPU cores. Default is 1 (no parallelization).

Returns:
taunumpy.ndarray

The target marker values at which the pair correlation function was computed.

radiinumpy.ndarray

The radii at which the pair correlation function was computed.

gnumpy.ndarray

The values of the pair correlation function at the corresponding radii and target marker values. Shape is (len(tau), len(radius)).

confidence_intervalnumpy.ndarray (if return_confidence_interval is True)

If return_confidence_interval is True, this will be a numpy array (2,num_mark_targets,num_radii) containing the confidence intervals for the pair correlation function at each mark target and radii. The CI[0,:,:] corresponds to the lower bounds of the confidence intervals, and CI[1,:,:] corresponds to the upper bounds. If return_confidence_interval is False, this will not be returned.
