Modeling spatial patterns of mixed-species Appalachian forests with Gibbs point processes

Stochastic point processes and associated methodology provide a means for the statistical analysis and modeling of the spatial point pattern formed from forest tree stem locations. Stochastic Gibbs point processes were explored as models that could simulate short-range clustering arising from reprod...
