Point pattern analysis is a technique that is used to obtain information about the arrangement of point data in space, to be able to make a statement about the occurrence of certain patterns.
Dialog box options:
|
Input point map: |
Select an input point map. Open the list box and select the desired input map, or drag a point map directly from the Catalog into this box. The point map needs to have at least two points which are not undefined. |
|
Output table: |
Type a name for the output table that will contain columns with probabilities of finding more points for different distance intervals. |
|
Description: |
Optionally, type a description for the output table. The description will appear in the status bar of the Main window when moving the mouse pointer over the table in a Catalog, and in the title bar of a table window when the output table is displayed. If no description is supplied, the output table will use its own definition as description. |
When you click the Show button, the dependent output table will be defined, calculated and shown. When you click the Define button, the dependent output table will only be defined; if necessary, the table will be calculated later, for instance when the table is opened to be displayed.
