Dear Charlotte Reemts & R users,
I have not used R to analyse point pattern, but I have done point pattern analyses with
another free software called "Programita". If you are interested in it, see
http://www.thorsten-wiegand.de/towi_programita.html
There are also two articles I would recommend to read:
Wiegand T., and K. A. Moloney 2004. Rings, circles and null-models for point pattern
analysis in ecology. Oikos 104: 209-229.
Wiegand, T., Kissling, W.D., Cipriotti, P.A., and Aguiar, M.R. 2006. Extending point
pattern analysis to objects of finite size and irregular shape. Journal of Ecology, in
press.
The latter one is in press in the Journal of Ecology. I can provide a preprint if you are
interested in it.
Best regards
Daniel
