An Exploratory Data Analysis Tool for Detecting Hierarchical Characteristics of Point Patterns
Shino Funamoto, Atsuyuki Okabe · Theory and Applications of GIS · 1998
In recent years there is an increasing demand for spatial analytical capability in Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Linking GIS to Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) methods encourages greater functionality for efficient data management and visualization. First, this paper is to review existing recent papers dealing with integrated spatial data analysis with GIS. Second, a spatial analysis tool for detecting hierarchical characteristics of point patterns is proposed, and its implemetation in a GIS environment is shown.
