Characterizing the Relative Spatial Structure of Point Patterns

Figure 2

Aggregates, univariate 𝐿 and 𝑀 functions for the aggregated point set. Solid curves are the 𝐿 and 𝑀 function values; dotted lines are the envelope of the confidence interval of the null hypothesis. Both functions detect clumping. 𝐿(𝑟)−𝑟 is plotted rather than 𝐿(𝑟) for convenience.
