To answer your question: Yes, you need to convert to ppp format; the nnwhich() function requires its first argument to be of class "ppp". My example showed you how to construct or "estimate" a window if you don't have or know the window a priori.

Hi Rolf, Thank you very much, I just have one other question, do I need to change the data frame into ppp format? I've tried using as.ppp but get the following error message: Error: x,y coords given but no window specified Best, Monaly.

The nnwhich() function from the spatstat package will do this for you. E.g.: require(spatstat) # You need to have *installed* spatstat! W <- ripras(ddd) # Where "ddd" is the name of your data frame. X <- ppp(x=ddd[,1],y=ddd[,2],window=W) n5 <- nnwhich(X,k=1:5)
