StraussHardcorePointProcess

StraussHardcorePointProcess[μ,γ,rh,rs,d]

represents a Strauss hardcore point process with constant intensity μ, interaction parameter γ, hard-core interaction radius rh and Strauss interaction radius rs in .

Details

  • StraussHardcorePointProcess models point configurations where the points cannot be within a hardcore radius r_(h) of each other, have a constant repulsive pairwise interaction for points within between radius r_(h) and r_(s) of each other, and which are otherwise uniformly distributed.
  • The Strauss hardcore model is typically used to model point processes like trees in a forest, where the r_(h) and r_(s) correspond to the trunk and canopy radius, respectively.
  •     
  • The Strauss hardcore point process can be defined as a GibbsPointProcess in terms of its intensity μ and the pair potential or pair interaction , which are both parametrized by γ, rh and rs as follows:
  • pair potential
    pair interaction
  • A point configuration from a Strauss hardcore point process in an observation region reg has density function proportional to mu^n product_(i!=j)h(TemplateBox[{{{p, _, i}, -, {p, _, j}}}, Norm]), with respect to PoissonPointProcess[1,d].
  • The Papangelou conditional density for adding a point to a point configuration is mu product_ih(TemplateBox[{{{p, _, i}, -, q}}, Norm]).
  • StraussHardcorePointProcess allows μ, γ, rh and rs to be positive numbers such that , and d to be any positive integer.
  • StraussHardcorePointProcess simplifies to HardcorePointProcess when , or . Smaller values of gamma inhibit points being closer than r_(s).
  • Possible Method settings in RandomPointConfiguration for StraussPointProcess are:
  • "MCMC"Markov chain Monte Carlo birth and death
    "Exact"coupling from the past
  • Possible PointProcessEstimator settings in EstimatedPointProcess for StraussHardcorePointProcess are:
  • Automaticautomatically choose the parameter estimator
    "MaximumPseudoLikelihood"maximize the pseudo-likelihood
  • StraussHardcorePointProcess can be used with such functions as RipleyK and RandomPointConfiguration.
