(dp0 S'ALG_DESC' p1 VThis R script computes simulation envelopes of the F(r) - empty space function.\u000a\u000aThe empty space function (also called the \u201cspherical contact distribution\u201d or the \u201cpoint-to-nearest-event\u201d distribution) of a stationary point process X is the cumulative distribution function F of the distance from a fixed point in space to the nearest point of X. An estimate of F derived from a spatial point pattern dataset can be used in exploratory data analysis and formal inference about the pattern . In exploratory analyses, the estimate of F is a useful statistic summarising the sizes of gaps in the pattern. For inferential purposes, the estimate of F is usually compared to the true value of F for a completely random (Poisson) point process.\u000a\u000aR dependencies: library "maptools" and "spatstat" p2 sS'ALG_CREATOR' p3 VVictor Olaya - volaya(at)gmail.com p4 sS'Layer' p5 VA vector containg a point pattern. p6 sS'Nsim' p7 VNumber of simulated point patterns to be generated when computing the envelopes.\u000a\u000a p8 sS'RPLOTS' p9 VPlot with the simulation envelopes. p10 sS'ALG_HELP_CREATOR' p11 VFilipe S.
