Simulations of a point pattern according to the null hypothesis of random labelling defined for M

Description

Simulates of a point pattern according to the null hypothesis of random labelling defined for M

Usage

rRandomLabelingM(X, CheckArguments = TRUE)

Arguments

X

A weighted, marked, planar point pattern (wmppp.object) or a Dtable object.

CheckArguments

Logical; if TRUE, the function arguments are verified. Should be set to FALSE to save time in simulations for example, when the arguments have been checked elsewhere.

Details

Point types are randomized. Locations and weights are kept unchanged. If both types and weights must be randomized together (Duranton and Overman, 2005; Marcon and Puech, 2010), use rRandomLocation.

Value

A new weighted, marked, planar point pattern (an object of class wmppp, see wmppp.object).

Examples

# Simulate a point pattern with five types
X <- rpoispp(50) 
PointType   <- sample(c("A", "B", "C", "D", "E"), X$n, replace=TRUE)
PointWeight <- runif(X$n, min=1, max=10)
X$marks <- data.frame(PointType, PointWeight)
X <- as.wmppp(X)

autoplot(X, main="Original pattern")

# Randomize it
Y <- rRandomLabelingM(X)
# Labels have been redistributed randomly across locations
# But weights are unchanged
autoplot(Y, main="Randomized pattern")
