simHPc: Generating points in a homogenous Poisson process

In IndTestPP: Tests of Independence and Analysis of Dependence Between Point Processes in Time

Description

This function generates a given number of occurrence points in a homogenous Poisson process (HPP) in continuous time.

Usage

simHPc(lambda, nEv, fixed.seed=NULL)

Arguments

lambda	Numeric positive value. Intensity λ used to generate the HPP.
nEv	Optional. Positive integer. Number of points to be generated in the HPPs.
fixed.seed	An integer or NULL. If it is an integer, that is the value used to set the seed in random generation processes. It it is NULL, a random seed is used.

Details

The points in a HPP are generated using independent exponentials with mean λ.

Points in a HPP can also be generated using simNHPc. The main difference is that in simHPc the number of points to be generated is given, while simNHPc generates points in a period of a given length T.

Value

A list with elements:

posN	Numeric vector. Occurrence points of the HPP.
T	Length of the period where the given number of points are generated.
fixed.seed	Input argument.
