simulate_antecedent_conditions
Description
Simulate heterogenous pattern
Usage
simulate_antecedent_conditions(x, i, j, nsim, heterogenous = FALSE, ...)
Arguments
x |
ppp |
i |
Mark of points that are not not changed. |
j |
Mark of points that are randomized. |
nsim |
Number of patterns to simulate. |
heterogenous |
If TRUE, points with the mark j are randomized using a heterogeneous Poisson process. |
... |
Arguments passed to |
Details
Simulate point patterns as null model data for spatstat.explore::envelope()
using
antecedent conditions as null model. x
must be a marked point pattern with
two types of marks. Antecedent conditions are suitable as a null model if points
of type i may influence points of type j, but not the other way around (Velazquez et al 2016).
One example are the positions of seedlings that may be influenced by the position
of mature trees.
Returns a list
with ppp
objects.
Value
list
