LinePicking: Numerical code for geometric probability problems, in...

Description Details Author(s) References

Description

The problem is a standard problem in stochastic geometry, where we pick lines at random from some region. The typical questions one asks are: what will the mean line length be? What will the Probability Density Function (PDF) be? This software implements the current list of known PDFs, CDFs, means and variances for such problems. It also provides solutions to some previously unsolved problems.

Details

The library has been designed to provide a small set of entry points which are callable from R, Matlab and other C programs. Documentation for the R and Matlab bindings to this libary have been provided in the a format suitable for each of their help systems.

Much of this manual is dedicated to documenting functions specific to a particular problem but users of the library generally only need to understand the entry points documented in the api.
