I was looking at autocorrelation but I decided to put it on the back burner, so to speak, because I am unsure as to what attribute is actually being correlated. The example I saw was weather temperatures at certain grid points on a map. Higher temperatures mean a higher weight. Could it be that...
Aside from the data, spatial analysis incorporates only a few parameters at most. I am not going into detail as to what the data is intended to model in the real world because that is not germane to the topic at hand. I have points distributed on a finite 2D integer lattice (not a plane in...
Thank you, thus far, to everyone responding. I still haven't found an even close analogous process for analyzing data on a discrete lattice.
To clarify, the data are biological cells represented by values on actual lattice points and not within square areas--the data is laterally discrete...
My professor gave me data points representing living cells on a rectangular plane and was told to analyze their spatial pattern, i.e., do the date points on the finite plane have a tendency to be clustered, random, or dispersed. I successfully accomplished this for points on a continuous plane...
