pointpats 1.1.0

Methods and Functions for planar point pattern analysis

Statistical analysis of planar point patterns.

This package is part of a refactoring of PySAL.

Introduction

This pointpats package is intended to support the statistical analysis of planar point patterns.

It currently works on cartesian coordinates. Users with data in geographic coordinates need to project their data prior to using this module.

Mimicking parts of the original PySAL api can be done with

import pointpats.api as ps

Examples

• Basic point pattern structure

• Centrography and visualization

• Marks

• Simulation of point processes

• Distance based statistics

Installation

Install pointpats by running:

$ pip install pointpats
