     This package allows for simulating and analysing marked point
     processes

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The following functionalities are provided:

        *  'get.mpp.names' : returns the names of the implemented
           models

        *  'mpp.characteristics' : returns  characteristics for the
           marks of marked point processes such as the mark variogram,
           Stoyan's kmm function, the E function and the V function

        *  'rfm.test' : MC test whether E or V is a constant. If any of
           these hypotheses are rejected, the investigated marked point
           process cannot be considered as random field model, i.e. a
           model where the marks are independent of the locations
           (however the random field model allows that the marks
           themselves are spatially dependent) 

        *  'simulateMPP' : simulation of marked point processes

        *  'srd.jrssb' : function that generates the results published
           by Schlather, Ribeiro, Diggle (2004)

        *  'splitmodel' : auxilliary function that splits a user
           defined model in a pure Gaussian random field part and a
           pure marked point process part

     Further, a forestry data set is provided, see BITOEK.
