##### Perfect Simulation of the Diggle-Gates-Stibbard Process

Generate a random pattern of points, a simulated realisation of the Diggle-Gates-Stibbard process, using a perfect simulation algorithm.

##### Usage
rDGS(beta, rho, W = owin(), expand=TRUE)
##### Arguments
beta
intensity parameter (a positive number).
rho
interaction range (a non-negative number).
W
window (object of class "owin") in which to generate the random pattern.
expand
Logical. If FALSE, simulation is performed in the window W, which must be rectangular. If TRUE (the default), simulation is performed on a larger window, and the result is clipped to the original wind
##### Details

This function generates a realisation of the Diggle-Gates-Stibbard point process in the window W using a perfect simulation algorithm.

Diggle, Gates and Stibbard (1987) proposed a pairwise interaction point process in which each pair of points separated by a distance $d$ contributes a factor $e(d)$ to the probability density, where $$e(d) = \sin^2\left(\frac{\pi d}{2\rho}\right)$$ for $d < \rho$, and $e(d)$ is equal to 1 for $d \ge \rho$.

The simulation algorithm used to generate the point pattern is dominated coupling from the past as implemented by Berthelsen and latex{Mller{Moller} (2002, 2003). This is a perfect simulation or exact simulation algorithm, so called because the output of the algorithm is guaranteed to have the correct probability distribution exactly (unlike the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm used in rmh, whose output is only approximately correct).

There is a tiny chance that the algorithm will run out of space before it has terminated. If this occurs, an error message will be generated. } A point pattern (object of class "ppp").
