Abstract: In this paper we describe recent empirical work using perfect simulation toinvestigate how rates of convergence for Gibbs fields might depend onthe interaction between sites andthe kind of scanning used. We also give some experiment results onKendall's (1998) perfect simulation method for area-interactionprocess, which show that the repulsive case could be quicker orslower than the attractive case for different choices ofthe parameters.
