Hello all, thx for the input this far.

after having implemented the interesting code professor Baddeley suggested, it 
seems that 'sort(X$marks)' and 'sort(rvals)' 

are however not the same vectors, which they should be according to the 
proposed null model.

I have looked at the code but could not solve the problem (converting a 
multitype point pattern to a marked point pattern) either, also I don't 
understand the piece of code:

marks(X) <- rvals[marks(X)]

well. Because rvals is an existing vector with existing values which represents 
marks


Anyhow besides this, I would like to split an observed pattern into large 
(larger than median) and small (smaller than median) dots (2 types) (Which I've 
already done!), and compare interactions between both types using an 
'alltypes-routine', for instance G or Gcross (Which I've already done!).  In 
this way I would like to see the interaction between the large (larger than the 
median) dots and the small (smaller than the median) dots of the observed 
pattern (Which I've already done!), in relation to the envelopes of the newly 
null model which is proposed here (which I don't have already done, and don't 
know how to!). The predetermined number of points and the predetermined set of 
marks of the null model, come from the observed pattern (which is split in 2 
types (small & large) later)

Does anybody think this is possible? E.g. by changing the expression prof. 
Baddeley suggested in some way. 


I have been thinking about it, but could not find a solution this far, I'm 
relatively new to R.

cheers,
Jan.

If the 'predetermined set of marks' is a finite set of radii, then this is a 
special case of the multitype Strauss process, where you set the interaction 
distance between mark r1 and mark r2 to be r1+r2, and the interaction 
parameters gamma are all equal to zero. 

Suppose 'rvals' is a vector containing the desired radii, 'W' is the simulation 
window and 'b' is the base intensity. Then do
        m <- length(rvals)
        types <- 1:m
        rmat <- outer(rvals, rvals, "+")
        gmat <- matrix(0, m, m)
        mod <- rmhmodel(cif="straussm", par=list(beta=rep(b, m), gamma=gmat, 
radii=rmat), w=W)
This defines the model. Then if you want simulations of exactly k points, 
        sta <- rmhstart(n.start=k)
        con <- rmhcontrol(p=1)
If you now call
        X <- rmh(mod, sta, con)
you'll get a multitype point pattern with marks 1:m where mark j corresponds to 
radius rvals[j]. If you need to convert this to a marked point pattern with the 
radii as the marks, do something like
       marks(X) <- rvals[marks(X)]
To use this in envelope(), set
         mapmarks <- function(X, v=rvals) { marks(X) <- v[marks(X)]; return(X) }
         expr <- expression(mapmarks(rmh(mod, sta, con)))
then call
       envelope(....... simulate=expr)


If the 'predetermined set of marks' is a continuous range of radii, then there 
does exist some code to do this, but it is not yet released in spatstat.
