The original spatstat package has been split into several sub-packages.

This package spatstat.random is one of these packages. It contains the functions for

• generating random spatial patterns of points according to many simple rules (complete spatial randomness, Poisson, binomial, random grid, systematic, cell),

• randomised alteration of patterns (thinning, random shift, jittering),

• simulated realisations of random point processes (simple sequential inhibition, Matern inhibition models, Matern cluster process, Neyman-Scott cluster processes, log-Gaussian Cox processes, product shot noise cluster processes)

• simulation of Gibbs point processes (Metropolis-Hastings birth-death-shift algorithm; perfect simulation/ dominated coupling from the past; alternating Gibbs sampler)

• generating random spatial patterns of line segments

• generating random tessellations

• generating random images (random noise, random mosaics).

The reorganisation of spatstat into a family of packages is described on the GitHub repository spatstat/spatstat.
