Abstract:
|
The analysis of spatial point patterns has a long history in ecology. Over time, ecological questions and statistical methods have changed. The threefold classification into random, clustered, or segregated patterns has been replaced by multi-scale summaries using Ripley's K function or pair correlation functions. This roundtable will gather together folks to discuss "what's next?" What questions do ecologists want to answer that can't be answered with current methods? What statistical methods might provide better answers to current questions?
