Berman-Huntington points and lines data

Description

These data come from an intensive geological survey of a 70 x 158 km region in central Queensland, Australia. They consist of 67 points representing copper ore deposits, and 146 line segments representing geological `lineaments'. Lineaments are linear features, visible on a satellite image, that are believed to consist largely of geological faults (Berman, 1986, p. 55). It would be of great interest to predict the occurrence of copper deposits from the lineament pattern, since the latter can easily be observed on satellite images.

These data were introduced and analysed by Berman (1986). They have also been studied by Berman and Turner (1992), Baddeley and Turner (2000, 2005), Foxall and Baddeley (2002) and Baddeley et al (2005).

Many analyses have been performed on the southern half of the data only. This subset is also provided.

Usage

data(copper)

Format

copper is a list with the following entries:

Points

a point pattern (object of class "ppp") representing the full point pattern of copper deposits. See ppp.object for details of the format.

Lines

a line segment pattern (object of class "psp") representing the lineaments in the full dataset. See psp.object for details of the format. given as a data frame with 4 columns (x1, y1, x2, y2).

SouthWindow

the window delineating the southern half of the study region. An object of class "owin".

SouthPoints

the point pattern of copper deposits in the southern half of the study region. An object of class "ppp".

SouthLines

the line segment pattern of the lineaments in the southern half of the study region. An object of class "psp".
