\title{Mosaic Random Set}
\description{
Generate a random set by taking a random selection of
tiles of a given tessellation.
}
\usage{
rMosaicSet(X, p=0.5)
}
\arguments{
\item{X}{
A tessellation (object of class \code{"tess"}).
}
\item{p}{
Probability of including a given tile.
A number strictly between 0 and 1.
}
}
\details{
Given a tessellation \code{X}, this function
randomly selects some of the tiles of \code{X},
including each tile with probability \eqn{p} independently of
the other tiles. The selected tiles are then combined to form a
set in the plane.
One application of this is Switzer's (1965) example of a random set
which has a Markov property. It is constructed by generating \code{X}
according to a Poisson line tessellation (see \code{\link{rpoislinetess}}).
}
\value{
A window (object of class \code{"owin"}).
}
