japanesepines: Japanese Pines Point Pattern

Description

The data give the locations of saplings of Japanese black pine (Pinus thunbergii) in a square sampling region in a natural forest. The observations were originally collected by Numata (1961).

These data are used as a standard example in the textbook of Diggle (2003); see pages 1, 14, 19, 22, 24, 56--57 and 61.

Usage

data(japanesepines)

Format

An object of class "ppp" representing the point pattern of 65 tree sapling locations in a 5.7 x 5.7 metre square, rescaled to the unit square and rounded to two decimal places.

See ppp.object for details of the format of a point pattern object.
