Functions
------------------
confun      -  Connectivity function
cumconfun   -  Cumulative connectivity function
clustfun    -  Clustering function

The connectivity function estimates the probability that two points distance r-apart share a graph component. Cumulative connectivity function is like Ripley's K-function but conditioned on the points sharing a graph component. Clustering function is a functional form of the non-spatial graph index, clustering coefficient.

The package currently supports only geometric graph, but such graphs as k-nearest neighbours graph can be easily included if somebody is interested.
