Statistical reconstruction of random point patterns

A general reconstruction method is described which simulates point patterns possessing prescribed summary characteristics, which are free of explicit model conditions. The characteristics are for instance the intensity, the L-function, the spherical contact distribution function and the kth nearest neighbour distance distributions. The use of the statistical reconstruction method is demonstrated on both a theoretical and practical example.
