Hi all, I have some marked spatial points and I am trying to assess the relative association between different types of points using the Diggle-Cressie-Loosmore-Ford test of CSR. My observations are of 4 categories (A,B,C,D) and I am trying to assess 3 categories (A,B,C,) against one (D), and I get the output provided below. Knowing the sampling area, I know category "D" and category "B" tend to occur all across the sampling area. What I am trying to prove is that category "A" and "C" tend to be clustered around "D". But u values I am getting are all positive, and the p-value are all 0.01. However, the dclf.test between A-D and C-D returns a u value at least 3 times as large than that of B-D. My question is: how do I interpret these values. Does it still show clustering of A and C relative to D? if yes how do I interpret the output of dclf.test between B and D? Thanks, GAB
