Extension to the 'spatstat' package, enabling the user
	     to fit point process models to point pattern data
	     by local composite likelihood ('geographically weighted
	     regression').

Functionality for parametric statistical modelling and inference for spatial data,
	     mainly spatial point patterns, in the 'spatstat' family of packages.
	     (Excludes analysis of spatial data on a linear network,
	     which is covered by the separate package 'spatstat.linnet'.)
	     Supports parametric modelling, formal statistical inference, and model validation.
	     Parametric models include Poisson point processes, Cox point processes, Neyman-Scott cluster processes, Gibbs point processes and determinantal point processes. Models can be fitted to data using maximum likelihood, maximum pseudolikelihood, maximum composite likelihood and the method of minimum contrast. Fitted models can be simulated and predicted. Formal inference includes hypothesis tests (quadrat counting tests, Cressie-Read tests, Clark-Evans test, Berman test, Diggle-Cressie-Loosmore-Ford test, scan test, studentised permutation test, segregation test, ANOVA tests of fitted models, adjusted composite likelihood ratio test, envelope tests, Dao-Genton test, balanced independent two-stage test), confidence intervals for parameters, and prediction intervals for point counts. Model validation techniques include leverage, influence, partial residuals, added variable plots, diagnostic plots, pseudoscore residual plots, model compensators and Q-Q plots.

Functionality for random generation of spatial data in the 'spatstat' family of packages.
	     Generates random spatial patterns of points according to many simple rules (complete spatial randomness,
	     Poisson, binomial, random grid, systematic, cell), randomised alteration of patterns
	     (thinning, random shift, jittering),  simulated realisations of random point processes including
	     simple sequential inhibition, Matern inhibition models, Neyman-Scott cluster processes
	     (using direct, Brix-Kendall, or hybrid algorithms),
	     log-Gaussian Cox processes, product shot noise cluster processes
	     and Gibbs point processes (using Metropolis-Hastings birth-death-shift algorithm,
	     alternating Gibbs sampler, or coupling-from-the-past perfect simulation).
	     Also generates random spatial patterns of line segments,
	     random tessellations, and random images (random noise, random mosaics).
	     Excludes random generation on a linear network,
	     which is covered by the separate package 'spatstat.linnet'.
