redwoodfull: California Redwoods Point Pattern (Entire Dataset)

Description

Locations of 195 seedlings and saplings of California redwood trees. The data redwoodfull represent the locations of 195 seedlings and saplings of California redwood trees in a square sampling region. They were described and analysed by Strauss (1975).

Strauss divided the sampling region into two subregions I and II demarcated by a diagonal line across the region. The dataset redwoodfull.diag specifies this diagonal line, and the datasets redwoodI and redwoodII represent the point patterns in these two subregions.

Yet another subset of the full dataset, consisting of 62 points in a square subregion, was extracted by Ripley (1977). It has been re-analysed many times, and is the dataset usually known as "the redwood data" in the spatial statistics literature. That dataset is supplied in the spatstat library as redwood.

Usage

data(redwoodfull)
       plot(redwoodfull)
       lines(redwood.diag)
       plot(redwoodI)
       plot(redwoodII)

Arguments

format

The dataset redwoodfull is an object of class "ppp" representing the point pattern of tree locations. The window has been rescaled to the unit square. See ppp.object for details of the format of a point pattern object.

The datasets redwoodI and redwoodII are also objects of class "ppp" representing the point patterns in regions I and II respectively, on the same scale as redwoodfull.

The dataset redwoodfull.diag is a list with components x and y giving the $x,y$ coordinates of the two endpoints of the diagonal line separating regions I and II. Its main use is in plotting the data.

source

The plot of the data published by Strauss (1975) was scanned and digitised by Sandra Pereira, University of Western Australia, 2002.
