Point Pattern Analysis

Point Pattern Analysis is a method used to study the distribution of specific events or objects in a space. Imagine spotting where birds land in a park; the analysis helps identify whether they cluster in certain areas or are evenly spread out. This can reveal patterns such as environmental preferences or social behaviors. It’s widely used in fields like ecology, urban planning, and crime analysis to uncover insights from the locations of events and inform decision-making based on how and why things are distributed in their environment.
