The plot is an estimate of the <strong>in</strong>tensity ρ(z) as a function of terra<strong>in</strong> slope z. It <strong>in</strong>dicates<br />

that the Beilschmiedia trees are relatively unlikely to be found on flat terra<strong>in</strong> (where the slope<br />

is less than 0.05) compared to steeper slopes.<br />

Additional capabilities will be added <strong>in</strong>to spatstat <strong>in</strong> the near future.<br />

13.4 Distance map<br />

The dataset copper gives the locations of copper deposits <strong>in</strong> a survey region, and also the<br />

location of geological l<strong>in</strong>eaments (which are mostly geological faults). It is conjectured that<br />

copper is more likely to be deposited close to a fault.<br />
