Spatial Point Patterns - Methodology and Applications with R

This book shows scientific researchers and applied statisticians from a wide range of fields how to analyze their spatial point pattern data. Making the techniques accessible to non-mathematicians, the authors draw on their 25 years of software development experiences, methodological research, and broad scientific collaborations to deliver a book that clearly and succinctly explains concepts and addresses real scientific questions. The book uses the authors’ R package spatstat throughout to process and analyze spatial point pattern data.
