\name{rMaternII} \alias{rMaternII} \title{Simulate Matern Model II} \description{ Generate a random point pattern, a simulated realisation of the Mat\'ern Model II inhibition process. } \usage{ rMaternII(kappa, r, win = owin(c(0,1),c(0,1))) } \arguments{ \item{kappa}{ Intensity of the Poisson process of proposal points. A single positive number. } \item{r}{ Inhibition distance. } \item{win}{ Window in which to simulate the pattern. An object of class \code{"owin"} or something acceptable to \code{\link{as.owin}}. } } \value{ The simulated point pattern (an object of class \code{"ppp"}). } \details{ This algorithm generates a realisation of Mat\'ern's Model II inhibition process inside the window \code{win}. The process is constructed by first generating a uniform Poisson point process of ``proposal'' points with intensity \code{kappa} inside the window. Then each proposal point is marked by an ``arrival time'', a number uniformly distributed in \eqn{[0,1]} independently of other variables. A proposal point is deleted if it lies within \code{r} units' distance of another proposal point \emph{that has an earlier arrival time}. Otherwise it is retained. The retained points constitute Mat\'ern's Model II. The difference between Mat\'ern's Model I and II is the italicised statement above. Model II has a higher intensity for the same parameter values. } \seealso{ \code{\link{rpoispp}}, \code{\link{rMatClust}}, \code{\link{rMaternI}} } \examples{ pp <- rMaternII(20, 0.05) } \author{Adrian Baddeley \email{adrian@maths.uwa.edu.au} \url{http://www.maths.uwa.edu.au/~adrian/} and Rolf Turner \email{r.turner@auckland.ac.nz} } \keyword{spatial} \keyword{datagen}
