Abstract
Abstract This article discusses nearest neighbor (NN) methods for the analysis of spatial point patterns and the analysis of field experiments. The distance from a point to its NN, or quantities derived from that distance, can be used to test whether the observed locations are a realization of a specific spatial point process. Edge effects, caused by recording data only within a bounded study area, can be important. When locations are marked (e.g.,by the species of plant), NN methods provide information on the relationship between the marks. NN methods for field experiments can be used to model local spatial variability.
