Spatial statistics for lattice points on the sphere I: Individual results
We study the spatial distribution of point sets on the sphere obtained from the representation of a large integer as a sum of three integer squares. We examine several statistics of these point sets, such as the electrostatic potential, Ripley's function, the variance of the number of points in random spherical caps, and the covering radius. Some of the results are conditional on t...

متن کاملInvestigation of changes of spatial autocorrelation patterns of chlorophyll-a in Choghakhor International wetland using hot spots index (Gi *) and remote sensing
Water resources such as wetlands, in addition to their economic and social importance, are ecologically valuable sources of aquaculture production. Due to its effects on aquatic environments, necessity of monitoring and awareness of the spatial and temporal distribution of chlorophyll-a is important for environmental studies. In the new approach to such studies, application of spatial statistic...
