VarianceGammaPointProcess
VarianceGammaPointProcess[μ,λ,α,β,d]
represents a variance gamma cluster point process with density μ, cluster mean λ and shape parameters α and β in .
Details
- VarianceGammaPointProcess models clustered point configurations with centers uniformly distributed over space and cluster points isotropically distributed with a flexible radial distribution.
- Typical uses include cosmology and rainforest tree distribution.
- The cluster centers are placed according to PoissonPointProcess with density μ.
- The point count of a cluster is distributed according to PoissonDistribution with mean λ.
- The cluster points in each cluster in are distributed according to VarianceGammaDistribution[α,,0,0].
- The cluster points in are distributed according to MultinormalDistribution[DiagonalMatrix[{u,u,…}]], with sampled from GammaDistribution[α,β] centered at a cluster center.
- VarianceGammaPointProcess allows μ, λ, α and β to be any positive real numbers, and d to be any positive integer.
- The following settings can be used for PointProcessEstimator for estimating VarianceGammaPointProcess:
-
"FindClusters" use FindClusters function "MethodOfMoments" use a homogeneity measure to estimate the parameters - VarianceGammaPointProcess can be used with such functions as RipleyK, PointCountDistribution and RandomPointConfiguration.
