How to generate synthetic spatial data, especially data cored inmates in R?
It would be really helpful if you provided an example of what you are looking for with this question.
# if you have a data table with known locations and you need to simulate a type or #weight you can try the following
coords = as.data.frame(list(x = c(74.0059,118.25,87.6847),
y = c(40.7127,34.05,41.8369),
city = c("New York","Los Angeles","Chicago")))
data = NULL
for(i in 1:10){
data1 = coords[sample(nrow(coords),size = 1),]
data1$type = sample(x = c(1:10),size=1)
data = rbind(data,data1)
}
data
or if you want to simulate your x and y locations along with a type you can try the following. Unfortunately without further info about what you need I'm not sure what else I can do
x = NULL
y = NULL
type = NULL
for(i in 1:10){
x[i] = rnorm(n = 1,mean = 0, sd = 5)
y[i] = rnorm(n = 1,mean = 0, sd = 5)
type[i] = sample(x = c(1,2,3),size=1)
}
plot(x, y, cex = type, col = type)
