Two versions of this dataset are provided: redwood
and redwood3
.
The dataset redwood
was obtained from the spatial package.
In this version the coordinates are given to 2 decimal places
(multiples of 0.01 units) except for one point which has an $x$ coordinate
of 0.999, presumably to ensure that it is properly inside the window.
The dataset redwood3
was obtained from Peter Diggle's webpage.
In this version the coordinates are given to 3 decimal places
(multiples of 0.001 units). The ordering of the points is not the same
in the two datasets.
There are many further analyses of this dataset. It is often used as a
canonical example of a clustered point pattern
(see e.g. Diggle, 1983).
The original, full redwood dataset is supplied in the spatstat
library as redwoodfull
.
