What is point pattern analysis used for?
Point pattern analysis (PPA) focuses on the analysis, modeling, visualization, and interpretation of point data. With the increasing availability of big geo-data, such as mobile phone records and social media check-ins, more and more individual-level point data are generated daily.
What is spatial point pattern analysis?
Spatial point-pattern analysis has a long history in plant ecology and is based on a large set of test statistics known as summary statistics (Perry et al. 2006). They aim to evaluate and describe statistical properties and spatial structure of point patterns (Wiegand and Moloney 2014).
