Random Spatialized Distribution of a Species

Description

Random Spatialized Distribution of a Species

Usage

rSpSpecies(
  n,
  Spatial = "Binomial",
  scale = 0.2,
  mu = 10,
  win = spatstat.geom::owin(),
  Species = NULL,
  Sizes = "Uniform",
  MinSize = 1,
  MaxSize = 1,
  MeanSize = 20,
  Wscale = 20,
  shape = 2,
  CheckArguments = TRUE
)

Arguments

n	The number of individuals to draw.
Spatial	The spatial distribution of points. May be "Binomial" (a completely random point pattern except for its fixed number of points) or "Thomas" for a clustered point pattern with parameters scale and mu.
scale	In Thomas point patterns, the standard deviation of random displacement (along each coordinate axis) of a point from its cluster center.
mu	In Thomas point patterns, the mean number of points per cluster. The intensity of the Poisson process of cluster centers is calculated as the number of points (size) per area divided by mu.
win	The window containing the point pattern. It is an owin object.
Species	A vector of characters or of factors containing the possible species.
Sizes	The distribution of point sizes. May be "Uniform" for a uniform distribution between MinSize and MaxSize. By default, all sizes are 1. May be "Weibull" with parameters MinSize, Wscale and shape.
MinSize	The minimum size in a uniform or Weibull distribution.
MaxSize	The maximum size in a uniform distribution.
MeanSize	The mean size in an exponential distribution (i.e. the negative of the inverse of the rate).
Wscale	The scale parameter in a Weibull distribution.
shape	The shape parameter in a Weibull distribution.
CheckArguments	If TRUE (default), the function arguments are verified. Should be set to FALSE to save time in simulations for example, when the arguments have been checked elsewhere.

Value

A wmppp.object.

Examples

spSpecies <- rSpSpecies(50, Spatial = "Thomas")
autoplot(spSpecies)
