Point pattern analysis

Point pattern analysis (PPA)[1] is the study of point patterns, the spatial arrangements of points in space (usually 2-dimensional space).

Description The easiest way to visualize a 2-D point pattern is a map of the locations, which is simply a scatterplot but with the provision that the axes are equally scaled. If D is not the boundary o...
