mppa (version 1.0)

mppa-package: Statistics for analysing multiple simultaneous point processes on the real line

Description

A procedure to test for dependence between point processes on the real line, e.g. causal dependence, correlation, inhibition or anti-correlation. The package also provides a number of utilities for plotting simultaneous point processes, and combining p-values.

Examples

A = runif(20)
B=runif(20)
##around ten B events are caused by A 
B=c(B, sample(A, 10)+abs(rnorm(10, 0,.01))); B = B[B>0&B<1]
## Not run: plot(mp(list(A=A,B=B)))
corrtest(A,B)
