title: 'multipointR: A package to compare intensities of point patterns across samples
  with spatial parametric models'
version: 0.99.0
abstract: '`multipointR` is a package to compare the distribution of cells in an image
  or cross images with point process models. On a single image level point process
  models (`ppm`) model the spatial distribution of a cell type point pattern as a
  function of spatial covariates while accounting for natural spacing of cells. The
  main model class considered in `multipointR` are inhomgoeneous Gibb''s point process
  models. Across multiple images, users can either compare multiple univariate `ppm`
  models in a for loop or fit one joint model across all images with `mppm`. `multipointR`
  provides an interface between `SpatialExperiment` and `SpatialFeatureExperiment`
  objects and let''s users flexibly define their own `ppm`/`mppm` models with R''s
  formula interface.'
