rinfec: Generate infection point patterns

In stpp: Space-Time Point Pattern Simulation, Visualisation and Analysis

Generate infection point patterns

Description

Generate one (or several) realisation(s) of the infection process in a region S\times T.

Usage

rinfec(npoints, s.region, t.region, nsim=1, alpha, beta, gamma, 
s.distr="exponential", t.distr="uniform", maxrad, delta, h="step", 
g="min", recent=1, lambda=NULL, lmax=NULL, nx=100, ny=100, nt=1000, 
t0, inhibition=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

npoints	Number of points to simulate.
s.region	Two-column matrix specifying polygonal region containing all data locations. If s.region is missing, the unit square is considered.
t.region	Vector containing the minimum and maximum values of the time interval. If t.region is missing, the interval [0,1] is considered.
nsim	Number of simulations to generate. Default is 1.
alpha	Numerical value for the latent period.
beta	Numerical value for the maximum infection rate.
gamma	Numerical value for the infection period.
h	Infection rate function which depends on alpha, beta and delta. Must be choosen among "step" and "gaussian".
s.distr	Spatial distribution. Must be choosen among "uniform", "gaussian", "exponential" and "poisson".
t.distr	Temporal distribution. Must be choosen among "uniform" and "exponential".
maxrad	Single value or 2-vector of spatial and temporal maximum radiation respectively. If single value, the same value is used for space and time.
delta	Spatial distance of inhibition/contagion. If missing, the spatial radiation is used.
g	Compute the probability of acceptance of a new point from h and recent. Must be choosen among "min", "max" and "prod".
recent	If “all” consider all previous events. If is an integer, say N, consider only the N most recent events.
lambda	Function or matrix defining the intensity of a Poisson process if s.distr is Poisson.
lmax	Upper bound for the value of lambda.
nx, ny	Define the 2-D grid on which the intensity is evaluated if s.distr is Poisson.
nt	Used to discretize time to compute the infection rate function.
t0	Minimum time used to compute the infection rate function. Default is the minimum of t.region.
inhibition	Logical. If TRUE, an inhibition process is generated. Otherwise, it is a contagious process.
...	Additional parameters if lambda is a function.

Value

A list containing:

xyt	Matrix (or list of matrices if nsim>1) containing the points (x,y,t) of the simulated point pattern. xyt (or any element of the list if nsim>1) is an object of the class stpp.
s.region, t.region	Parameters passed in argument.
