Simple Monte Carlo Tests for Spatial Pattern

Julian Besag and Peter J. Diggle

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C, 1977, vol. 26, issue 3, 327-333

Abstract: The Monte Carlo approach to testing a simple null hypothesis is reviewed briefly and several examples of its application to problems involving spatial distributions are presented. These include spatial point pattern, pattern similarity, space‐time interaction and scales of pattern. The aim is not to present specific “recommended tests” but rather to illustrate the value of the general approach, particularly at a preliminary stage of analysis.
