Nearest neighbor distance in spatial point patterns of plant species–probability distribution model and parameter estimation

Paper Summary

The researchers developed a model to estimate the distances between plants in a forest. They used a genetic algorithm to find the best parameters for the model. The model worked well for some tree species but not for others. They found that the spacing of trees depends on the type of tree and the size of the area.
