摘要：There are several methods to test the hypothesis of complete spatial randomness of point patterns. In this paper, we compare the performance of distance-based tests, such as the T 2 methods, and angle-based tests. The comparison takes into account the sampling effort needed to carry out the tests. Among the angle-based tests, we introduce modifications to the originally proposed test by Assun¸c˜ao (1994) by means of the inclusion of information on the third and fourth nearest neighbors of each sample point. The test proposed by Hines and Hines (1979) is the best choice among those we considered in this paper.
