Description

Simulates Strauss spatial point process.

Usage

Strauss(n, c=0, r)

Arguments

n

number of points

c

parameter c in [0, 1]. c = 0 corresponds to complete inhibition at distances up to r.

r

inhibition distance

Details

Uses spatial birth-and-death process for 4n steps, or for 40n steps starting from a binomial pattern on the first call from an other function. Uses the region set by ppinit or ppregion.

Value

list of vectors of x and y coordinates

Side Effects

uses the random number generator
