The plot shows the theoretical K function of the fitted Thomas process (fit), three nonparametric<br />

estimates of the K function (iso, trans, border) and the Poisson K function<br />

(theo).<br />

At present, the only cluster process models that can be fitted us<strong>in</strong>g kppm are the Thomas<br />

process and the Matérn cluster process. To fit the Matérn cluster process to the redwood data,<br />

> fitM plot(simulate(fit, nsim = 4))<br />

The command simulate is generic; here we have used the method simulate.kppm.<br />

Simulation envelopes are also available, us<strong>in</strong>g the method envelope.kppm.<br />

> plot(envelope(fit, Lest, nsim = 39))<br />
