Convert STATS19 data into ppp (spatstat) format.

This function is a wrapper around the spatstat.geom::ppp() function and it is used to transform STATS19 data into a ppp format.

Usage

format_ppp(data, window = NULL, ...)

Arguments

data

A STATS19 dataframe to be converted into ppp format.

window

A windows of observation, an object of class owin(). If window = NULL (i.e. the default) then the function creates an approximate bounding box covering the whole UK. It can also be used to filter only the events occurring in a specific region of UK (see the examples of get_stats19).

...

Additional parameters that should be passed to spatstat.geom::ppp() function. Read the help page of that function for a detailed description of the available parameters.

Value

A ppp object.

See also

format_sf for an analogous function used to convert data into sf format and spatstat.geom::ppp() for the original function.

if (requireNamespace("spatstat.geom", quietly = TRUE)) {
  x_ppp = format_ppp(accidents_sample)
