Wavelet analysis of anisotropy in point patterns

Hi all,

I'm running wavelet analysis of anisotropy in point patterns using the 
PASSaGE software by Rosenberg et al.

Rosenberg, M.S., and C.D. Anderson (2011) PASSaGE: Pattern Analysis, 
Spatial Statistics and Geographic Exegesis. Version 2. Methods in 
Ecology & Evolution 2(3):229-232.

Rosenberg, M.S. 2004. Wavelet analysis for detecting anisotropy in point 
patterns. Journal of Vegetation Science 15:277-284.
DOI: 10.1111/j.1654-1103.2004.tb02262.x

I wonder how I can do the same analysis using R.

Thanks,

Dome

Hi Domenico,

In spatstat you have several functions to detect anysotropy in point 
patterns:
- the sector K-function, Ksector();
- the pair orientation distribution, pairorient();
- the anisotropic pair correlation function, Kmeasure().

See the help pages of these functios or, even better, consult pages 
236:242 in  Adrian Baddeley, Ege Rubak, Rolf Turner (2015). Spatial 
Point  Patterns: Methodology and Applications with R. London: Chapman 
and   Hall/CRC Press, 2015.

Thank you Marcelino,

I already had a look at those functions and, although they do the job, I 
was wondering how to analyze anisotropy in point pattern using wavelet 
analysis.

I tried to use the WaveletComp package, but with no success. It looks to 
me that packages for wavelet analysis work fine with temporal data, but 
I couldn't find the way to use it with spatial point patterns.

How could I get in R the same analysis provided by the PASSaGE software?

Thank you!

Hi Domenico,

AFAIK, you should build your own functions to get the same analysis 
provided by the PASSaGE software. If you have some elementary R 
programming skills, following the description of the analysis proposed 
by Rosenberg(2004) shouldn't be much complicated. Otherwise...I don't know.

Good luck!

Marcelino
