rpp: Generate Poisson point patterns

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

Generate Poisson point patterns

Description

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

Usage

rpp(lambda, s.region, t.region, npoints=NULL, nsim=1, replace=TRUE,
    discrete.time=FALSE, nx=100, ny=100, nt=100, lmax=NULL, ...)

Arguments

lambda	Spatio-temporal intensity of the Poisson process. If lambda is a single positive number, the function generates realisations of a homogeneous Poisson process, whilst if lambda is a function of the form \lambda(x,y,t,\dots) or a 3D-array it generates realisations of an inhomogeneous Poisson process.
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.
replace	Logical allowing times repeat (should only be used when discrete.time=TRUE).
npoints	Number of points to simulate. If NULL, the number of points is from a Poisson distribution with mean the double integral of lambda over s.region and t.region.
discrete.time	If TRUE, times belong to {\bf N}, otherwise belong to {\bf R}^+.
nsim	Number of simulations to generate. Default is 1.
nx, ny, nt	Define the size of the 3-D grid on which the intensity is evaluated.
lmax	Upper bound for the value of \lambda(x,y,t), if lambda is a function.
...	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.
Lambda	nx \times ny \times nt array of the intensity surface at each time.
s.region, t.region, lambda	parameters passed in argument.
