Kenv.pcp {splancs}R Documentation

Calculate simulation envelope for a Poisson Cluster Process

Description

This function computes the envelope of Khat from simulations of a Poisson Cluster Process for a given polygon

Usage

Kenv.pcp(rho, m, s2, region.poly, larger.region=NULL, nsim, r, vectorise.loop=TRUE)

Arguments

rho intensity of the parent process
m average number of offsprings per parent
s2 variance of location of offsprings relative to their parent
region.poly a polygon defining the region in which the process is to be generated
larger.region a rectangle containing the region of interest given in the form (xl,xu,yl,yu), defaults to sbox() around region.poly
nsim number of simulations required
r vector of distances at which the K function has to be estimated
vectorise.loop if TRUE, use new vectorised code, if FALSE, use loop as before

Value

ave mean of simulations
upper upper bound of envelope
lower lower bound of envelope
