Simulate a piecewise constant-rate Poisson Point Process over (t_min, t_max] (inversion method) The intervals need not have the same length.

Simulate a piecewise constant-rate Poisson Point Process over (t_min, t_max] (inversion method) The intervals need not have the same length.

Usage

draw_sc_step(lambda_vector, time_breaks, atmost1 = FALSE, atleast1 = FALSE)

Arguments

lambda_vector

(scalar, double) K constant rates, one per interval

time_breaks

(vector, double) K+1 time points defining K intervals of constant rates: [t_1 = range_t[1], t_2): the first interval [t_k, t_{k+1}): the k-th interval [t_{K}, t_{K+1} = range_t[2]): the K-th (last) interval

atmost1

boolean, draw at most 1 event time

atleast1

boolean, draw at least 1 event time

Value

a vector of event times t if no events realize, it will have 0 length

Examples

x <- draw_sc_step(lambda_vector = rep(1, 5), time_breaks = c(0:5))
