Short Description

This plugin uses the Ripley’s K function to analyze robustly the spatial organization of molecules.

Documentation

Introduction:

This plugin allows the statistical analysis of the spatial distributions of molecules in one or several field of views (ROIs).

It is based on the Ripley’s K function which counts the number of pairs of points that are closer than a parameter r. Comparing the values of the K function to its critical quantiles under spatial randomness then allows to assess statistically the presence of clusters (K(r)>quantile at level (1-alpha)) or dispersion (K(r)< quantile at level alpha)

How to use the plugin in detail:

Spatial Analysis

The methodology is detailed in the article

    Very well documented ! Good idea to put the full presentation ! It's impressive to see how impossible it is to distinguish clusters by eye. Good to have this quantification !
