title: Issue of large average intensity values while creating point pattern from a data frame using Spatstat in R
body: <p>I am using the Spatstat package in R for spatial point analysis. My dataset comprises location coordinates i.e. latitude and longitude of some event upto 6 places of decimal. It has some 9898 observations.</p>
  
  <p>Here`s the output of the summary for the point pattern:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Planar point pattern:  9898 points</p>
    
    <p><strong>Average intensity 149786.3 points per square unit</strong></p>
    
    <p>Coordinates are given to 6 decimal places</p>
    
    <p>units</p>
    
    <p>Window area = 0.0660808 square units</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>My question is that how can the Average Intensity value be so huge? Or is my approach of creating a point pattern is wrong? Please help!</p>
