Hi all,
I have a data set that consists of x,y coordinates for individual plants, along with sex of the individual.
Example
Ind sex x y
1 F 10 5
2 M 9 4
. . .
200 M 20 4
for 20 populations of the species. I would like to know if males and females are randomly dispersed, or tend to segregate.
I would like to use Philip Dixon's method (1994), and there is an implementation in the R package "spatialsegregation" (dixon(X, prepR=0)). However,
I am not very familiar with spatial analyses in R and am not sure how to structure the input object X. The function description says "Bivariate i.e. 2-type point pattern (see package 'spatstat')"
Does anyone know how to structure the data that I have (example above) so that I can use dixon()? Thanks for any help.
