About this book

This is an electronic book/resource on the analysis of spatial point pattern data.
It explains how to analyse spatial point pattern data in practice, using software available with the R package. Featured software will include the R packages spatstat and splancs.

This book does not explain the theory of statistical methods for point patterns. For an accessible introduction to the concepts and methods of statistical analysis of spatial point patterns, please refer to

P.J. Diggle,
Statistical Analysis of Spatial Point Patterns
Second Edition, Arnold Publishers 2003.
The chapters in this e-book will correspond to the chapters of Diggle's book. Roughly speaking, our chapters will explain how to do the calculations in the corresponding chapters of Diggle's book.
