Spatial Clustering in R
Hi Dan. The attributes are not distances nor any type of similarity/dissimilarity measure, but rather actual attributes of individual spatially referenced items (specifically, continuous and categorical measures of tree attributes, e.g. diameter and taxon). Thanks. And by the way the correct terminology appears to be either spatial segmentation or spatial regionalization, not the "spatial clustering" that I used in the subject line of my original post. I don't mean to refer to the spatial analysis of the points themselves, but rather to the ATTRIBUTES of the items at those points. Jim Hi Jim, What are the nature of the attributes of the items, are they simply actually distances from one another, or is their some other measures of similarity/dissimilarity (say differences in soil types)?

I'm wondering whether any R package has the ability to perform spatial clustering, i.e. the spatial partitioning of a data set into relatively homogeneous polygons, based on one or more attributes of the items (similar to what the program eCognition does). Perhaps there is a more statistically correct term for what I have just described, but I don't know it. Thanks.
