rpoisppx: Generate Poisson Point Pattern in Any Dimensions

Description

Generate a random multi-dimensional point pattern using the homogeneous Poisson process.

Usage

rpoisppx(lambda, domain, nsim=1, drop=TRUE)

Arguments

lambda

Intensity of the Poisson process. A single positive number.

domain

Multi-dimensional box in which the process should be generated. An object of class "boxx".

nsim

Number of simulated realisations to be generated.

drop

Logical. If nsim=1 and drop=TRUE (the default), the result will be a point pattern, rather than a list containing a single point pattern.

Value

If nsim = 1 and drop=TRUE, a point pattern (an object of class "ppx"). If nsim > 1 or drop=FALSE, a list of such point patterns.

Details

This function generates a realisation of the homogeneous Poisson process in multi dimensions, with intensity lambda (points per unit volume).

The realisation is generated inside the multi-dimensional region domain which currently must be a rectangular box (object of class "boxx").
