This new area, with the two isolated points removed (see ‘b’ panel from Figure 9), now has 156 points with intensity of 0.47 points per hectare within an area of 333.13 hectares. The results of the J-Function (First Moment Characteristics) are under CSR distribution as expected, and for the Second Moment Characteristic, the Reduced Second Moment Function K in the Simulation Envelope Methods was applied. In conclusion, the null hypothesis could not be rejected without the 2 points, as observed in the ‘b’ panel (Figure 9). 38
The remaining step was the analysis of the results which would make the Pair correlation Function support or discard the results from the K Function for Block I, considering the new border/area with the two isolated points excluded. Between the first radius (1 meter) and up to a radius of 20.5 meters, the observation curve is lower than the lower simulation envelope curve, hence suggesting the presence of inhibition. However, given that the interaction between points did not appear until the radius of 24.8 meters, (from the results returned of the function Gest, see sub-section 4.3.2). Hence the presence of inhibition is discarded again. The rest of the observations are completely under the CSR (uniform Poisson distribution) region as shown in Figure 10. In conclusion, the null hypothesis could not be rejected. 39
