## Mark Connection Function for Multitype Point Pattern on Linear Network

### Description

For a multitype point pattern on a linear network, estimate the mark connection function from points of type i to points of type j.

### Usage

    linearmarkequal(X, r=NULL, ...)

### Arguments

`X` | The observed point pattern, from which an estimate of the mark connection function p[ij](r) will be computed. An object of class `"lpp"` which must be a multitype point pattern (a marked point pattern whose marks are a factor).
`r` | numeric vector. The values of the argument r at which the function p[ij](r) should be evaluated. There is a sensible default. First-time users are strongly advised not to specify this argument. See below for important conditions on r.
`...` | Arguments passed to `linearpcfcross` and `linearpcf`.

### Details

This is the mark equality function for a point pattern on a linear network (object of class `"lpp"`).

The argument `r` is the vector of values for the distance r at which p[ij](r) should be evaluated. The values of r must be increasing nonnegative numbers and the maximum r value must not exceed the radius of the largest disc contained in the window.

### Value

An object of class `"fv"` (see `fv.object`).
