1. Point Pattern Analysis

2. Methods for analyzing completely censused population data F Entire extent of study area or F Each unit of an array of contiguous sample units (e.g. quadrats) F Global vs. Local F Entire extent of study area or F Each unit of an array of contiguous sample units (e.g. quadrats) F Global vs. Local

3. Types of Point data F Univariate, Bivariate, Multivariate F 1, 2, and 3 Dimensions (x,y,z) F Univariate, Bivariate, Multivariate F 1, 2, and 3 Dimensions (x,y,z)

4. Point Pattern Analysis F Pattern may change with scale! F Test statistic calculated from data vs. expected value of statistic under CSR (complete spatial randomness) F Pattern may change with scale! F Test statistic calculated from data vs. expected value of statistic under CSR (complete spatial randomness)

5. Types of Point Patterns F Random (CSR) F Overdispersed (spaced or regular) F Underdispersed (clumped or aggregated) F Random (CSR) F Overdispersed (spaced or regular) F Underdispersed (clumped or aggregated)

7. Methods F Distance to neighbor F sample F Refined Nearest Neighbor F randomization F Second-order point pattern analysis F Distance to neighbor F sample F Refined Nearest Neighbor F randomization F Second-order point pattern analysis
