Simulate heterogeneous pattern

Usage

rheteroppp(x, nsim, fix_n = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

ppp

nsim

Number of patterns to simulate.

fix_n

Logical if true the null model patterns have exactly the same number of points ais input.

...

Arguments passed to spatstat.explore::density.ppp().

Value

list

Details

Simulate heterogeneous point patterns as null model data for spatstat.explore::envelope(). A heterogeneous Poisson process is used, meaning that there are no interaction between points, however, the simulated coordinates depend on the intensity \(\lambda\) of the input pattern.

Returns a list with ppp objects.
