Computer generation of points on a plane

Lee C. Wensel

Hilgardia, 1975, vol. 43, issue 5

Abstract: A statistical model for the generation of random, contagious, and uniform spatial patterns is developed. Points are located on the plane one at a time with each point modifying the probability matrix for the next point. For random patterns no change is made in the probabilities. For contagious patterns, location of a point increases the probability of locating another point near it. However, for uniform patterns the probability of locating another point near previously established points is reduced.
