win
. In the simplest case, where kappa
and mu
are single numbers, the algorithm
generates a uniform Poisson point process of kappa
. Then each parent point is
replaced by a random cluster of mu
)
distributed, and their
positions being placed and uniformly inside
a disc of radius r
centred on the parent point.
The resulting point pattern
is a realisation of the classical
win
.
This point process has intensity kappa * mu
.
The algorithm can also generate spatially inhomogeneous versions of
the
kappa
is afunction(x,y)
or a pixel image (object of class"im"
), then it is taken
as specifying the intensity function of an inhomogeneous Poisson
process that generates the parent points.mu
is afunction(x,y)
or a pixel image (object of class"im"
), then it is
interpreted as the reference density for offspring points,
in the sense of Waagepetersen (2007).
For a given parent point, the offspring constitute a Poisson process
with intensity function equal tomu/(pi * r^2)
inside the disc of radiusr
centred on the parent
point, and zero intensity outside this disc.
Equivalently we first generate,
for each parent point, a Poisson ($M$) random number of
offspring (where$M$is the maximum value ofmu
)
placed independently and uniformly in the disc of radiusr
centred on the parent location, and then randomly thin the
offspring points, with retention probabilitymu/M
. Note that if kappa
is a pixel image, its domain must be larger
than the window win
. This is because an offspring point inside
win
could have its parent point lying outside win
.
In order to allow this, the simulation algorithm
first expands the original window win
by a distance r
and generates the Poisson process of
parent points on this larger window. If kappa
is a pixel image,
its domain must contain this larger window.
The intensity of the kappa * mu
if either kappa
or mu
is a single number. In the general
case the intensity is an integral involving kappa

and r

The kappa

or related functions.
