rcellnumber: Generate Random Numbers of Points for Cell Process
Description
Generates random integers for the Baddeley-Silverman counterexample.
Usage
rcellnumber(n, N = 10)
Arguments
n
Number of random integers to be generated.
N
Distributional parameter: the largest possible value.
An integer greater than 1.
Value
An integer vector of length n.
Details
This function generates random integers which have mean and variance
equal to 1, but which do not have a Poisson distribution.
The random integers take the values $0$, $1$ and $N$
with probabilities $1/N$, $(N-2)/(N-1)$ and $1/(N(N-1))$
respectively.
See Baddeley and Silverman (1984).
