Patterns of point objects (Unwin, Chapter 3)

Spatial concepts:

object, dispersion, distribution, density, pattern, point, isotropy

This chapter continues the examination and clarification of concepts relating to point objects, for which as argued in Chapter 1, appropriate, complex/ second order, concepts relate to words like ‘distribution’, ‘dispersion’, ‘density’, ‘pattern’ and ‘scale’ and, at higher level still, third order concepts relating to point process models, stationarity and isotropy/anisotropy.
